LEATHER gets MADMAN turned..................
« on: June 08, 2006 - 06:58:11 PM »
 :bigsmile: If your like me you like it nice big and round in tight leather, something you can really wrap your hands around not a thin boney hard to hold onto steering wheel like most e-bodies came with. I have put a newer style  3/4" size leather Wheelskins cover on mine. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-VehicleBrowse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2003153/showCustom-0/p-2003153/N-200728534+111+1973+600002757/c-10101                                                                                                                                                                  To fill out the extra diameter I placed strips of closed cell foam purchased at Hobby Lobby under the leather. These are time-consuming to install. I recommend taking the wheel off. Total investment less than $15.00                                      Try It You'll Like It

 :thumbsup:  Looks real nice!  Good job!

Very true, these steering wheels are, like you said, "boney".  I was even thinking of putting 2 steering wheels covers on until I found one by, I think, Bell that was extra thick.  A second one may still be in the works though.
