The thread on recovering steering wheels got me thinking. My 88 came with a black leather covered shift ****. The leather is very thin and over the years my hand has worn a big hole in it.

Can the shift ***** be recovered with new leather?

 

Yes, there was a member here offering that kinda service, dont remember his name though.I did my own, cause ima cheapo.

 

Mine is for the T5. My hand has worn through the very thin leather.

We are coming upon craft faire season here in this area, there are always a few custom tanners exhibiting. I think I'll talk to a couple of them to see if they can help me.

I saw one place online selling complete new covered T5 *****, but they wanted $80 each for them, which seems to me to be rather high. I'll keep looking to see if there is a better price. I'd like to get a little thicker leather so it won't wear out so quickly.

 

Look up that member here, his rates were like half that $80.Some here are customers too.There is a thread on the forum as well.

 

Thanks man.

Does anyone know what the thread is on the T5 shaft for the ****? Metric?

 

I think it is M16x1.5

 

Thanks. I see you can get cheap generic ***** on Fleabay for about $10. That will work while the original **** is out for recovering.
