Question Reviving a Red Momo Sterring Wheel??

Hey guys

I have just got myself a red momo steering wheel (Freebie!!). The red parts of the wheel have been worn off though.

Does anyone know how to fix the red sections of the wheel. Maybe leather stain or similar??

Any comments welcome.

Cheers

If its just usual wear then imo i'de just apply some red leather dye/stain too like you mentioned to the effected areas.

If the red had worn off and the leather is wearing out too ( becoming rough ) then it might be time to get the red section retrimmed .cheers .

The leather is in great condition, so the leather dye/stain seems to be the go.

Anybody know the best place to get some that would suit?? Also, having trouble finding the tools to remove the steering wheel.

Anyone know where I can find the torx bolts adapter to remove them?? (Have tried hardware stores, but no luck so far.)

Large torx bolt is T50 standard 6-sided, but the bolts for the airbag are 5-sided items, so a slotted screwdriver or the like might be the go.

This might be of help to you.
