So I'm embarking upon a winter project of making a 380mm RS wheel for my assdragger.
Got the foam padded faux leather teener wheel from Mr. Heard. Many thanks. Got the center cap from Kelly. Many, many thanks and you are now free to marry my daughter (the other one Slits... fear not). I ordered a wheelskin from Autoperformancemotion Products. Wrong. It doesn't have the yoke tabs to cover the wheel properly. Who (Brer) has BTDT and where did you get the leather cover? Please don't tell me AGLA as I've only heard horror stories. Are there any others out there? |

I've had my mind on doing the same thing. I have a real leather 914 wheel and an early 911 horn button. I would love to over-wrap the existing 914 wheel.
The name that always rises to the top is Tony at Autobahn. And, I think he charges around $700? I think the only way to do it yourself right, is cut your own leather. I've read the same things about AGLA. |
