Bob,
If you are handy and creative, you can go to an upholstery shop and get some
remnants and make your own.

You have to get a curved upholstery needle and some strong nylon thread.  If
you practice a bit before getting started, you will find that making a nice
stitch pattern is rather easy.

The end effect is much better than what you typically find using an off the
shelf kit.

Subject: [TR] leather steering wheel cover

Hello,

I am looking to replace the very old cover on my TR3A and also get a new
cover 
for the TR4.

Does anyone know of a supplier of these items?

Moss sells one which fits 16.5 wheels but if I measured correctly the 4 is
16 
and the 3 is 17.

The existing cover on the 3 I believe is an original AMCO part very old and 
ready for the trash.

I would like to go with a similar style, black and laced from the inside.

Thanks,

Bob
