I recently recovered my stock wheel with an AGA leather kit. It looks alright, but when I compare it to my 914-6 leather wheel I have it looks... well, cheap. The leather is not the same grade, or texture. It does not align the I would like and there were issued with hole count.
So, I'm wondering if it would be worth it to unstich my -6 wheel (has some thread issues anyway) and make a template, correct hole count and spacing and all, from this original cover. I have a leathersmith in my family, so most of the issues I can sidestep I think, but the question right now is do I sacrifice a nice original patina wheel for the cause? what do you think? what would you pay? |
