Do I have the wrong kit or the wrong wheel?
Doing a test fit I don't see how the leather can stretch that much to fit without damaging the cover. This is the kit from Automotion, it is an Alan Gun manufactured kit. Attached thumbnail(s) |

This is the kit from Automotion, it is an Alan Gun manufactured kit. You have a '74+ steering wheel with the fake leather wrap that is solid foam no stitching. Std. leather wrap will not fit over it. |

Thanks, I see no option on their page for that. Shows filling all models 70 - 76 , I guess my options are to return it (and hope they refund the overpriced shipping charges) or cut the foam off and build up some thickness around the metal. |

No, don’t not cut the foam. I’ll send you the right wheel. PM me your address. |
