Hi guys

I trying to figure out if my steering wheel is too damaged to be repaired. I have no clue what happened to the steering wheel but its litteraly chipped on top.
I would like to know if you have tried to repair a wheel as damage as mine. Looking at option to redo the leather covering if possible.
So far I found these kit for sale:
https://www.custom-steering-wheels.c...g-wheel-kits--

Anybody have try to DIY?
Should I simply try to source another one?

DSW is a great option, albeit expensive. if you don't mind the stock look of your steering wheel, and easy and inexpensive option would be this: https://www.leatherworldtech.com/Del...it-p/dlrk.htm# you'll need your interior color code. Good luck

Thanks guys.
Do you think the leather filler will do the trick for repairing the chips on top of the wheel?
If so I will probably give it a try.
At this price it can't really go wrong as my second option would be re-covering the wheel and the third one is replacing it.

If you like the stock wheel, I'd be surprised if you can't find a great condition used steering wheel either here, at a salvage yard (partssociety.com/quality porsche parts, norspec dismanting, etc.) or on eBay for not a ton of money.

Do NOT use Custom Steering Wheels! STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

Go with Dallas.

Go to your next classic car show and ask around who is the best local leather shop and go to them with these pictures.

Highly Recommend Don @ DCSW he did my Alcantara Wheel.
Communication and Work was Excellent and Turn Around time was amazing!

He can Factory Match the leather and rewrap for you and even add padding like Factory Thick Wheel like mine

Get your Shift **** done as well at the same time!

In a word? Yes...

I actually have a near perfect gray wheel I got on here as a loaner wheel while mine is being refinished in Alcantara. If you are interested PM me.

I suspect a wedding ring caused all that damage.

Don't they always?

Thanks for your inputs everyone.
If I can't find a replacement at a good price I will probably try to repair it myself just for the experience. I would like to keep the car original if possible so covering with alcantara is not an option at the moment even if it would look awesome Im sure.

Make sense.
I might have found a replacement thanks to thurstonpowers3.
But I think I will still give a try to repair the damaged one.
It will give me some practice to decide if I want to attempt my driver seat, shifter and parking brake handle restoration by myself.
A renowed interior restorer here in Qc quoted me 1000$ for the complete interior restoration minus the steering wheel he didnt want to do.
