RS 3 spoke steering wheel referb question.

Hi all

I am looking at getting my Rs steering wheel refurbished, is there a company out there that does this sort of thing thats reputable and reliable.  Thanks in advance ☺

Nice wheel, and it really (from the pic) doesn't look that bad....👍

Where the leather joins up around the back its split, i am in 2 minds weather to have it stitched together or have it recovered.  It might be a bit tatty around the edges but it is original. Its a bit of a hard call tbh.

It's only 'original' once. Provided the leather can be pulled together, a Sadler wouldn't think twice about stitching it up for you, also lots cheaper than a replacement cover!

Yep, if it were mine and I could get it stitched up, I would go for that option. Seems way to nice for a recover. as Katana mentioned, only original once....😎

From the pic above, think it looks great.

i had my RS 4 spoke wheel retrimmed in leather by a specialist wheel restorer, it was pretty expensive as I recall. +1 for trying a repair first.

Had a word with a local saddle/ leather working guru and he is going to have a look at it for me to see if it can be "sympathetically "  restored rather than being recovered 🙂
