Hi Folks,

This one is mine. It's in good shape, but I have done nothing to bring some life into it, and it also needs a good cleaning. The leather is dry and needs conditioning. I thought about doing this myself real quick and upping the price, but I don't have the time. I'm asking $30 plus shipping. It fits on the E9 and doesn't look all that different from a '74 wheel if you are looking for a cheap temporary solution.

I've reconditioned leather wheels in the past. Typically I wet sand the leather with 800+. Follow with black kiwi shoe leather dye and some Lexol. Like butter again.

Liquid black shoe dye or just black shoe polish, like in a tin? I had always just "polished" my old leather Nardi on the 02...I'll try the 800 grit trick. Thanks.
