I have an older momo competition wheel that I really like, I put a wheelskin on it and its "ok" but I'd much rather have it look new. I heard someone say once that momo wheels can be "referbished" does anyone know who, where, how, etc. or is it just cheaper to find a new one that has a look and feel that you can stand? Talk to me Goose......

get a new one...

Show me a picture! Perhaps I have one that will work.

Ah, come on now. I know how he feels. I want to redo this wheel cause I think it's cool.

i've been told MOMO itself will refurbish them. i got a original, period correct, Prototipo that i'd like to get redone.

hi Jim - Have you talked to a good car upolstery shop - they can do pretty amazing work - I have an old Porsche steering wheel that I want o have covered with leather !

I talked to an upholstery shop about recovering a wheel once....they could do it but the cost was close to that of a new one.

That's what I'm afraid of and I don't think that there is anything "special" about this wheel except that I really like the feel of the damn thing....

american-stiches.com I asked them once then decided to try for myself. I have a few things going now so I have not started on it yet but I got the leather.

what did you do for the foam that is under the leather? what glue are you going to use to make the leather stick to the foam?

Not to answer for him, but a common glue used in custom upholstery is 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive.
