deedub 144 Report post Posted Wednesday at 10:00 AM I'm wanting to get my m-tech 1 steering wheel from my E30 refurbished. I have no idea where to look or start. How would I go about getting this done? Has anyone done this before? Where did you go to to get it done? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nath 183 Report post Posted Wednesday at 09:22 PM I recovered my own, using the Redlinegoods kit (leather cover and thread). Looks really good, although the thread for lacing it on is a little harsh on the fingers- could be softer. The terminations/seams behind each spoke were a challenge(the leather doesn’t stretch well) and needed some pretty ugly lacing/stitching. I may revisit these. Well priced though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like my best option at this stage. Unless I can find somewhere in NZ that can do it. Not the kind of thing I would normally do myself. Sounds like a good idea to get some quotes around my way first before going with DIY. Edited Thursday at 07:06 PM by deedub Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
