Reupholster Steering wheel and Binnacle

["John Elgersma" <delorean@xxxx>]

The steering wheel for the Delorean is a pricy item. I had a closer 
look at the wheel and noticed that the cover is stitched on. I can 
only think of how this was done. Is there anybody out there, 
especially somebody in the upholstery business that can give me an 
answer how the steering wheel cover can be removed and be replaced 
with new leather. I am not about to experiment with the steering 
wheel and start cutting the stitches to find out what lies beneath 
the surface. The other matter is the binnacle itself. I realize that 
the binnacle is not made out of the same fabric as the dash. This 
made me wonder if the binacle can be reupholstered. Lets hear from 
those that have tried one or the other or both. Any suggestions 
would be really appreciated to quite a few of us. New grey binnacles 
are scarce, and for that matter, very expensive. Is there an 
alternative??
