Anyone have a source in Brisbane? Qld? Australia...:) please?
I had in the back of my head that someone here had a tried and tested shop for this, but I just can't recall so if anyone has a name, please post.
It depends on what you want - recovered or recovered as original. Recovered = most trimmers Recovered as original = difficult, I've heard that Gary Blackman Melbourne http://www.gbtrimming.com.au/?content=home can do it, but dont have any personal experience with this. Also, Superformance in the UK sell steering wheels that are very close copies of the Momo wheels used in Ferrai 308's, I'd use that in a "driver" Ferrari, would be cheaper than a recover too. M
I think Lee Brothers Trimmers at Albion will do it - and a good job but it won’t look original; however I think you’d be just as good to take Mike’s advice. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Yep,if he can fit a 289 Ford engine into a BN1 Austin Healey I'm sure fixing a steering wheel will be a piece of cake....
These are some examples of how 95% of recovered Momo steering wheels turn out (all on a VC HDT's ). Every single one has cross stitching holding the leather together, which is not correct. The are glued originally, the stiching is decorative only. Image Unavailable, Please Login sticking Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I can recommend a guy Karen. He is in Caboolture. Like all the good guys. Streamline Trim 07 5495 3437 Owner is Brad McNulty 0401 027 524
There is a guy I know.....................I would say he is the KING of steering wheel re-trimming! Contact Gary West on (07) 5499 9232 and mention my name. He is located in North Maleny, not too far from you I am sure Karen. He has re-trimmed a few wheels for myself and friends and does an amazing job. He replicates the wheel exactly the same as you gave it to him or he can re-stitch in whichever colour leather/stitching you want. He will be the man to do my Ferrari steering wheel if I ever need it done one day. Hopefully he lives that long as he is getting on a little bit lol. He will definitely be able to re-trim your wheel to factory condition. I am sure he has re-trimmed old Porsche steering wheels in the past. He does Holden/Ford stuff every day. He doesn't have a website, but he is on Facebook. Click on the link if you have Facebook to check out his work, it's all amazing! And here are pics of my steering wheel, gear shifter and park brake boot from my VZ SS Holden Crewman. I went with black leather with silver stitching instead of the factory black stitching on my car. https://www.facebook.com/WestiesWheels/ Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Thanks, looks great. I predict you'll be innundated with work, I plan to send you a Momo Sigma. Michael
He is the king Michael! You won't be disappointed! I am waiting the for the "leather" wheel in my Prado Kakadu to wear out so I can send it to Gary to re-trim.
Just a one man band here mate, I am very busy and always have been since I started doing wheels about 5 yrs ago, have cut down the types of wheels I do now and restrict them to HSV, early Holden and Momo's etc, I'm never too busy to take on another of any of the above, but it does help if you can wait. Momo's are not cheap to do, as Mike says in his post the leather is not held on by stitching (Its just decorative) but a very strong adhesive, beautiful wheels as Momo's are, the design is flawed especially in our climate here in Aus, leather reacts by shrinking in our heat and humidity and pulls the rubber/foam grip apart as I'm sure you all may have noticed, as well, when stripping the wheel of its old skin most of the grip is damaged in some way and requires a lot of repairs, I not only use adhesive but also stitch them invisibly so the separation can't happen again, only wheel I've come across so far I can't do that way is a VL group A Ghibli which came originally without the usual tram line stitch Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
