Default Seat covers and dash parts.

Hi Guys,
My second gen Ram is getting close to completion, I still have to sort the death wobble which is going to be a challenge as mine is right hand drive and I am in Australia, I will need to get creative on that one. What I need really badly is the knee bit under the steering wheel is broken on my car with bits missing. I think right hand drive and left are the same looking at pics seems they used the same part. Can anyone provide a link where I can get one used or new?
I am looking for leather or at a push imitation leather seat covers. Prefer red as car is red and I hate the stock brown seats.
Thanks guys
Chris

2WD or 4WD? You most likely have slop somewhere in front end(suspension or steering) causing the death wobble. Some of the parts may be the same. No right hand drives over here in the states so really cant give you links.I think your best bet is to find the stuff you need locally. Look here for the leather.

4WD, I dont see a Dodge option re leather. Do they do seat covers? Hoping to get covers I can but in US and fit myself.
Re death wobble I plan to pull the steering stuff off and machine (I manufacture shooting bipods) the shafts to accept new tie rod ends and ball joints that I can get here in Australia. I need to mod it so future servicing is easy.
Cheers

There is a leather seat cover on eBay (when I say cover you take the factory cover off and this replaces it) for I think it was $150 USD. But you also have to buy hog rings and hog rings pliers

1995, just resprayed it, it only has 100,000 on the clock so getting full resto as they are rather expensive over here so worth the trouble.
