REtrimming steering wheel

[Paw-DK]

hey people i have a 350mm deepcorn nardi.. and the leather on it is pretty much worn, old and hard!
just wondering if its possible to get the steering wheel retrimmed with fresh synthetic leather or vinyl??
does anyone knows the quality of retrimming it, where it can be done at, and how much it would roughly cost would be great..
(and AJPS are selling these 'Luisi steering wheels' thinking it might be a cheaper option <_< )

thanks vince

I once approached a trimmer to do one and he laughed - told me it was a days work and simply not worth it to him to do. You might get lucky but they don't seem that interested in that kind of work

Good luck

It's possible. I'm pretty sure my ke70 wheel has been re-trimmed.

howee

I got quoted $350 to retrim my wheel. wtf.

Yeah it all has to be done by hand, so the labour charges are intense.

You may be able to get a nardi for close to that number.

Luisis are cheap as chips by comparison :)

I am looking at doing this aswell. I just got a quote from Moorooka Auto Trim in QLD, $165 and they are redone in leather.

hey A_F 165$ is pretty cheap and basically same price as a brand new luisi
i already asked couple of trimming places but they said it can't be done will try asking more places to see if i can same price
do you reckon you can tell us if the job went well.. cheers if you can :2thumbs:

[VTAZ!]

Yeah no worries, when I get it done. Very busy atm so won't be for another few weeks.

I'm in the exact same position and the best quote was from A Tuc in the yellow pages from $160 -180. they are in beverly and specialise in repairing steering wheels
