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) |

I bought the same kit. You have to take off the old leather. I found the thread they provided was too small so I brought some black hemp instead, worked brilliant. PM me if you want some advice. Ah, I just noticed the comment about the foam.

Ah, I just noticed the comment about the foam. I used the AG kit also, fit fine (no double wrap) Yours has the thick foam (with fake leather stitching) like mine? I reached out to Alan Gun himself on FB last night so waiting to hear back from him. |
