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. That looks like too much of a stretch. Looks like it was made to remove original leather. I just did a Ford Fusion wheel for my gettin older mom. It was plastic and terrible to grip in the cold especially with arthritis. I got a kit from China that wound up being awesome. It took most of an afternoon and is the best feeling leather I have ever gripped and looks darn good. I used a generic kit for a Momo wheel that I was given which also had a plastic finish and felt terrible. It was thick and so so on the grip but better than the plastic. I would check with the maker before you start stitching that. |
