Any place that does repacking of steering wheel

[Mr_w124]

Hi all. My car has a leather steering wheel which has cracked n faded with age. I have sweaty palms and this is not a good combi with leather steering wheels. Any place where i can get the wheel rewrapped in pvc?

I only know one. Jackspeed.

 

Good quality. Did on my previous ride. Look almost as good as the first day I got it (par some wrinkles which is unavoidable), after 3 years of service.

How much did you pay for it? You did it for the whole car?

Either Jackspeed or Cushion8.

how much did you pay for steering wheel only?

Mr_w124: I've sweaty palms at times too. And I have a leather wrapped steering wheel. What I did was to visit Autobacs and get a steering cover (those with grip material). Should be a cheaper and more effective solution.

[Mr_w124]

Thanks for the replies. Yes i thought about getting the steering wheel cover. but i would prefer to rewrap the wheel. plus, for some reason the wheel cover i bought doesnt want to fit. was told that old merc steering wheels quite big so fifficult to get one that would fit properly. Anyway i would prob also check out cushion 8 n jackspeed as recommended by bros here. Sounds good. Any idea of the cost?

Mr_w124: Oh ok. In case, for future reference, Autobacs has different sizes of steering wheel cover. Probably can ask the staff to let you measure before purchase.

For your case, it could be a size issue.

 

Check the size and measurement of your steering wheel and get the correct and specific cover for your wheel.

 

It should be alright.

Yup. That is what I did when I go there to buy my leather steering wheel cover.

mustafa also sells these steering cover. maybe can get the extra big size one there.

 

you know, just like when i buy condom.. hard to find those extra large size one.. singapore only sell those small ones.,...

I think about 120-150 for just the steering wheel, & you can specific the design the leather. I ask for perforated (leather with small holes) at side, & normal leather at top & bottom, as well as red stitches. Inspirated by Ferrari F430.

[Mr_w124]

Sounds like a good price. Think i will check them out. Thanks guys.

Getting the steering wheel re-wrapped in leather is not going to b cheap.

 

Maybe u can consider getting a 2nd hand steering wheel from those scrapyards as they r very cheap & in almost brand new condition. Then just get your ws to do the swap for u.

 

Do not go for PVC cos it gets slippery when your palms sweat & u cud slip while doing some fast turning. Best is those rough leather for a better grip.

Oh yours is Merc ah. Then sud b no problem cos most scrapyards carry lots of spares for Merc. Just look around. Woodlands, Kranji & Sg. Kadut have several scrapyards.

 

Check yellow pages for a full listing.
