Besides the el cheap-o walmart covers.

Get a wheelskin
Re: leather steering wheel falling apart... - 08/31/06 07:42 PM
Yup, wheelskins are pretty nice. Took me forever to do mine and I need to redo it as some stitched areas aren't as tight as others.

I saw some leather covers in Wal Mart that looked OK...
What's wrong with them?
Re: leather steering wheel falling apart... - 08/31/06 09:11 PM
I think the wheelskins are the best choice that I have seen before.

From personal experince- do the Wheelskin. Much, much better looking. And be sure to put something on your fingers so you don't get blisters. I got horrible ones from the twine stuff.

Let me know the year and color and I will see what the OEM would go for. They are reasonably priced, and some time I can get them at 50% if a dealer has one in stock that is old.

I may also be interested in a midnight blue steering wheel depending on price.

greystone leather ...
Re: leather steering wheel falling apart... - 09/01/06 01:43 PM
Bill - Is it possible to get JUST the airbag cover, or do you have to purchase the entire wheel?
Re: leather steering wheel falling apart... - 09/01/06 02:16 PM
I called Bill...
Our "normal" cost was like $260...
But, he's hoping to find them for less.

junkyard, get a pre 98 wheel. Mine is still in perfect condition...I am the 4th owner and the car has 184K miles on it, so it isn't like it hasn't been used. 
Re: leather steering wheel falling apart... - 09/01/06 02:42 PM
Trust me I'm going tomorrow.
Re: leather steering wheel falling apart... - 09/01/06 03:35 PM
It took me a minute to find it, but there is an ebay seller that has a few new Black leather SVT steering wheels for like $30.

Wow. That's pretty cool.
Re: leather steering wheel falling apart... - 09/01/06 05:15 PM
Ok,
The midnight blue one is
F8NZ-3600-AAB List $231.17 CEG $172.13
They are obsolete, but I can get them still from another dealer. There are only 3 left.

That is pretty nice, problem is that they NEVER made a black leather wheel for either the Tour or Tique. So this can not be a Ford Factory part. That guy is selling an aftermarket wheel.

Re: leather steering wheel falling apart... - 09/02/06 01:38 AM
Isn't it an 01+ Cougar wheel?
