Steering wheel restoration

Can anyone tell me where to get my super beetle steering wheel restored? Prefer in Brisbane area if possible.

Thanks

how about in your shed/lounge/dining room? i think there was an article in a US magazine in the mid to late 90's... or was it on the net?
i have yet to do it myself (i've had a go at woodrim wheels... not stock ones though), but from what i have read and heard from poeple who have done it, it isn't very hard.





edit... i've spent eerrrrr.... a few minutes looking through my old hotvw's and trends and couldn't find it, sorry.

John at Volksworld before he closes the door.

I suggest a saddlery - They do a great job.

Shop around. Should get by for 50 - 70 depending on materials and the sime to stitch.

Thanks guys. I was going to get one from John but he hasn't got any lat model ones and as he is closing, I don't think I can get him to do one. I wasn't sure if anyone else does them here other than pearlcraft (they want a small fortune to do one).

I may yet do it myself so the links are helpful.

body filler and paint !

Once you file and fill the cracks, light sand, undercoat, top coats, clear... you'll be amazed how easy it is to get a great result.
