Steering Wheel

The leather on my 95 F250 stock steering wheel is in need of repair. The previous owner had the problem area (about 8 inches along the top of the wheel) covered with black electrical tape and then a steering wheel cover.

So I'll need to remove the adhesive from the tape and then do someting with the leather.

Suggestions?

Joe.

I want to keep the original wheel, I am sure I couldn't get a good replacement for less than an arm and a leg.

you might find a decent one at a junkyard for a decent price. Recovering isn't cheap either...
Hmm... you might want to see if you have a local leathershop and see what they might do for you. I've used the local ones to make custom watch bands & belts at decent prices.
