Need Help finding someone to cover a Petri in leather, preferably in the US, not Europe and with good references. I know leatherworks.com has been recommended but I cannot find them anywhere. email [email protected].

BTW, the coupeguy is still here to help with parts or information, same email or text 970-215-4109. My website coupeguy.com was stolen, cannot retrieve, I wonder who would do that? However I can no longer supply fiberglass parts, my partner with control of the molds has just disappeared... POOF!

Thanks, appreciate it. Do you recall what they charged for a 380 petri? I found someone local in Ft Collins, CO but they want $600!

i would be curious to know if they have ever done a petri (either Craft Customs or the place in Ft. Collins). getting the stitching correct is the tough part.

these days its probably 100 RT shipping to most places - its a big box and shipping has become crazy expensive. i sent a very light box - 28 x 9 x 8 to the west coast + UPS wanted 55 bucks ground one way ... USPS wanted between 25

so Dan, what does it cost to have a petri recovered in Europe ... i know there are some people who do it over there and the workmanship is generally quite good.

I honestly dont recall, Scott, its been several years. Very good workmanship but takes a very long time. I would contact Gerrit if I wanted someone to work on a wheel over there.
 
@coupeguy : Hey Dan - what a coincidence! I asked for you here only some days ago: You may not remember, but I inspected 4355-002 for you when Klaus Gehring sold it in Germany some 20 years ago!?
And I bought some fiberglass parts from your homepage and you a set of Alpina 14 inch rims I sold on Ebay etc. But the 4355 is still a very lively memory in my E9 head (the Gehring brothers had three CSLs for sale at that time, one of them a carburetor previously in BMW Motorsport owbership).
Hope you are well!

Kind regards, Daniel

I’d inquired with Craft Customs back in 2022 and they were charging $450 back then. Therefore, I suspect the cost has probably gone up about $50-$100. Have not used their services, but I may use them to recover my 380mm Petri.

Here an excerpt from my email with them:

“The cost to reupholster your BMW steering wheel back to new leather specifications with Basting stitching is $449 plus shipping. We use only Top of the Line Premium Automotive Leather that exceeds industry standards. We can scive the ends of the leather to make a smooth termination at the ends of the spokes. The leather we use is about 1/16" thick, which is about the same as factory. Simply send in your steering wheel and we'll take care of the rest. Turnaround is about 2-3 weeks”.
 
I just requested a quote for an M-Technic 1987 steering wheel. Glad there is a good source...
