DannyBoy Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Redline Goods (not to be confused with Redline Styling) offer fit-it-yourself steering wheel covers which look to be pretty good quality. They have a thread or two on here showing their work so have a look. DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 had a look at that i will just stab myself 100 times if i did it myself pete can you do this?? 2 be honest the only reason I have not done one myself is I suffer from a rare headache disorder. The solvent from the contact adhesive used and in most cases of evostick fame. The fumes start an attack that can only be aborted with Injections and 02. Apart from that you have to deactivate the airbag and take the steering wheel off. Again something I can't do which limits me a lot. I was toying with the idea of getting a steering wheel off eBay but Mine has the 3buttons both side. Then I could do one in my own time or send it over to Maciek. The Zed in his portfolio with the red leather door rests and boots is my car so I do need to get this wheel done ASAP. Wonder if there is a none solvent decent thin contact adhesive out there.

Half way through a 2 week stay. Send it over to Maciek at the Polish address. Ask him for a price ontop of your choice and he will calculate the total cost including the return shipping. It won't be cheap but I recon to fit and return to you about £80 that's without the cost of the cover. Might be worth taking another look at the video as I intend fitting my one eventually when I order it. You can fast track message him through his Facebook page. But you need to get a discount code and 2ways of getting this. One ask admin on here or 2. From what I read he has put a public code out for this item as a one off.

4RE Leather Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Slightly changing the post but still with steering wheels. Are the centre sections interchangeable in so much that if I got a donor wheel that had no buttons or just 3 on one side like some had. And mine has phone and radio on the left and cruise on the right as in 6 buttons. are they easy to swap over? Easy guide please Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy guide please Graham I believe they are but you may have to change the spiral cable that runs from the steering wheel controls to the radio etc i.e i don't know if the cable for only 3 buttons has the "spares" to do the wheel with 6 buttons but I know a man who does now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Think I will just search for a six button one. Get it leathered and take it to Abbey or Taras and get them to swap it over. Knowing my luck I will get a face full of airbag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 That's expensive lol Maybe everyone on here is thinking the same thing. £80 is acceptable though. There is another on there for £50 but no buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 can make him an offer underneath i thought was expensive too, not many of those 6 button babies about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 That £180 is double what the normal price for a 6 button is. Found another for Half that and put in an offer. Just a matter of seeing how easy it is to cover and rather muck one of my own up thn a customers. The only service that Redline use direct is in the USA and they charge $120 plus postage plus cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 What ever you do guys do not spend £180 on that wheel! I just spent 2hrs playing offers and counter offers and got a tan 6 button one for £53 from a dealer. So as soon as I am out of here I will order a Red Leather with black and yellow inserts from Redline and do a post on it. I will time it and see it it's feasible to start an echange service as I don't think people want to be with out a wheel unless they intend using mole grips!

jumping350 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 good work pete what you gonna do with the tan bits left over?? i might have em for mine if you dont mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well I might do that one up and flog it as a tan one. If I can get the sweat out of the leather to the surface then it will be a simple enough job to re dye the leather to original speck. I have the Exact Anthracite/Alazain match. I told the guy not to send it till Friday as not sure if I am Definately coming out by then. So it may be a couple of weeks until I can assess and get it done. Can't find any OEM gear knobs worth saving as of yet. I want one of each colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
