"The leather will be held in place with copper wire removed from old electrical cabling (60 amp). (Leather kept subtle with grease or waxoil?)"
I treat the leather gaiters on the steering swivel joints of my old land rover with copious quantities of vaseline prior to fitting. This works well. Not sure how the copper wire will age exposed to the elements and can foresee a nasty blue stain emerging over time. Leather shoelaces or waxed cord might provide a more aesthetic long term solution?
