refurbishing an old steering wheel
I have an old deepdish sports steering wheel. It's trimmed and leather. the leather has perished though and the padding has seen better days. Two
questions;
1. where can I get some new padding for it?
I like something firm, like hard foam rubber. Who sells it in Sydney?

I don't know about the foam. But I bought a cheap wrap around vinyl imitation leather steering wheel wrap around for my Beetle. It came with a string
which you used to wrap around the wheel like a ballerina shoe strap.
It actually looks good and it only cost $5 from Autobarn. I purchased it during a sale.
Its held perfectly well for over 10 years. And has no holding problems.
