I added my 'WheelSkin' to the steering wheel today. Came out looking real nice. Has a real soft feel to it:


Ordered the AC hose adapters stuff this morning. $83.00 more in the kitty.

Just a tip for everybody. I purchased two seat mechanism covers from The Fiero Store. They were the defects that needed drilling and spraying tan from the gray, to match my tan interior. I purchased this product at AutoZone:


In the image you can see the old broken cover beside the can. The left end has the spray on it . It appears to be the same exact color as the original was.
The rear label on the can:


And a pic of the cover in the light with no shadow:


Ya can't ask to get a better color match than this.

Hey Joe,

I used that same brand for my dash, door pannels and center console on my V8 Coupe. I liked the way it covered and it looks great once dry. Steering wheel and the seat looks great. Where did you get the steering wheel cover?

WheelSkins are all over the place on E Bay. I think I paid $27.?? + shipping. It was real easy to put on the steering wheel. I removed it from the car and did it in the house watching TV

I finished these this afternoon. Wasn't to bad at all. A well designed upholstery kit from Mr Mike:

I got these in the mail yesterday:

They are the items I need to make up the AC hoses for my swap. I order two different hose ends today with a 45* bend in them. As these are mounted on my compressor, the AC hoses will be rubbing up against the end of the starter. If the larger one of the two was on the inside port it would not even work. I think the 45* bend will solve this problem. We'll know soon.

Part #14108A (# 8 fitting to #8 Hose) 1 $3.49 $3.49

Part #15512A (#10 Fitting to #12 Hose) 1 $4.64 $4.64

I just got notification from PayPal that my $58.10 payment to FieroAddiction was refunded to me and my claim was closed. I was sorry to hear that, I would have prefered to have had the bracket I purched and never got.
