I was in the same boat too, other things more pressing, however, I stitched on a new leather cover, did it over a week or so, boring like watching paint dry. Could never find a shop to do it so thought I would give it a go. Got the cover from Amazon. One thing I did learn was to pull the thread tightly and use a large clamp to keep the thread taut between sessions. Took four days on and off, about an hour each time. Tough part was getting around the spokes, but it looks just as good as the factory cover.
