A friend of my father's is a leather crafter and a very good one at that. I am going to give him my factory leather wrapped wheel to repair. (there are a couple worn places at the top of the wheel from fingers) so i will have him replace the whole piece of which he can make a pattern from mine. If anyone is interested in getting thier wheel covered to a factory like original let me know here and i will see what he would charge to do it. you could then send the wheel to me and I could take them to him, then send them back. but for now just let me know if your interested........
