Hi,

iam living in norway ,but have my own restoration shop in Vilnius, Lituania.

I cant find any good foto of the correckt stiches for leather steering wheels for early 911.
can any one send me or post it?

we have done some steering wheels for old Ferrari , but i dont think they use the same stiches ?

thanks

Here's a couple of pics Evren took of the dash of my car. Hope you can make out the sitches. The steering wheel is original, never worked on.

how thick should they be?

i just got a new Prototypo Mono steering wheel from pelican.. i never in my life seen such uneven stiches.. should they be like that or is it made in china?

i consider to "restore" my new prototypo steering wheel.

i tryed to upload some fotos of our work , but it seems they are to big..any one help please?

Wow! Jan, that's quite a shop! Thank you for rescuing these cars from the ravages of the tin worm. I have another that may show more from the side. I'll post it. Also, "how thick should they be?", do you mean the distance between stitches? I have a set of cheap calipers, could try to measure for you if I knew where you wanted the measurements taken.

Darn! Now I see that the stitches are out of focus. I don't have a digital camera here. I guess I'm too computer ignorant to use one. If I can help by taking any measurements, let me know...but do keep in mind this is an original wheel, not a smaller diameter "sport" wheel like a prototipo...

i would like to have the diameter og the steering wheel.?

and i am looking for good cars to restore, i dont see any problems with rust or damage..we build them like new
