Okay, after the Heinnies wore off, I glanced at my reply to Larry's "baseball stitch" thread for recovering steering wheels..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) , and I made an error in my instructions, so don't do it that way. Funny how when I'm just "doing it", it's simple, but when I had to think about what I was doing I got it all "f'ed" up. I've got two wheels to do, and the first one has to be done today, so no time for pics. Plus I wanted to have some pics of beginning and ending the stitch, including what all I did to the horn button, and metal spokes.....give me a couple of weeks and I'll have a better "how to", with better pics (hopefully (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) ).

Here's a quick one of the horn button, not a before and after per se, but an example of the condition the restored one prior to refurb (actually, the rubber part of the "refurbed" button was in much worse condition filth-wise, than the "un-refurbed" one shown). The paint on the refurbed one isn't really as shiny as the pic shows (it's semi-gloss), must've been the flash.

So in closing.........disregard what said the first time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drunk.gif)
