Steering wheels

I've been admiring these which are made just down the road from me. I believe you can still get the boss to fit. 16" and 17" options available. Mota Lita were factory items on some coaches.

I recovered mine a couple months ago. Used a baseball stitch, it’s real leather. Not bad, better than it was. Still need to polish the metal, not sure what to use on it.

Thank you Dean. It feels good in my hands while driving…..well, while parked in the driveway. We missed our winter trip this year and still haven’t been out. We are hoping for a short romp in the next couple weeks!

I would like to get the horn button/logo repaired.

Nice job Mike. You should advertise your steering wheel restoration services

I did as well, but I had to remove the wheel to fix missing rubber.
Now, it seems a part is missing from the horn button, maybe a spring?
I cannot find a schematic breakdown of parts for the Horn Button.
Any clues?

Recovered OEM

Steering Wheel Art in Scottsdale Arizona. He is great to work with and does a perfect job. Plus then it's still original.
