Re: Restoring Leather Handbrake & Gear Knob..
For the money I'd probably go new off eBay. There's a good selection of colour combos with stitching etc and as the others have said the quality is good too you'll just need some super glue

Re: Raid air bag steering wheel
Same size. A lot of people have had their wheels retrimmed by a firm called 'royalsteeringwheels' who used to operate on eBay. You can either send yours or swap it but it takes about 3 weeks. You can have it thickened etc and is about £115. Try searching and you will find a thread and some examples :)
