Default Wheelskin instructions?

I was inspired with a recent thread to redo the Wheelskin on my 86L. The fine folks at Wheelskins were kind enough to send me new thread and a needle free of charge. The bad news is I think I threw away my instructions after the first time. Tomorrow looks to the a pleasant Easter Sunday afternoon. I couldn't find them on their website, and I seriously doubt they would respond by tomorrow if I tried to email them. Any chance anybody has them and could paraphrase? They were very generic if memory serves. Thanks in advance!

I was thinking about buying one of those, looks like a quality product. Has anyone dealt with DC Carcare? they sell Wheelskins on there website for $21.00 cheaper than the Wheelskins website. That's a pretty good deal if it's the same product.

I just did a Wheelskin on my 59 and it looks absolutely great. I took the steering wheel off the car. It was much easier to do it that way.

I bought mine from Wheelskins Ebay outlet. Cheaper than their website and anywhere else that I found. Can't remember their Ebay name, but I'm sure a search there, would find it.

I have just scanned the original instructions from my Wheelskin into a jpg file.

I don't know how to add it here as a picture but if you want to send me you email address, I can email the jpg to you (about 1.3 megs in size).
