I have an Racemark steeering wheel , the leather is shot and seems to be bubbling something from inside out.
So I attaked it with a band saw. Strange inards, U shaped steel channel ,rivetted to the spokes and then coated with a rubber like goo. Attached thumbnail(s)

It looks freakin great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) !!! because of the thin spokes your steering wheel would be a perfect candidate for 'wheelskins' leather covering!! They sell them on ebay in whatever color, grip and overall diameter! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-Cayman-Whe...=item256de2ec6b |
