Are you making the entire steering wheel or just the grip?
I spoke with a steering wheel guy that said touching the wheel itself was not an option because of DOT requirements but he could do the grip? Do these need to be certified? |

The steel core of the wheel is not changing in diameter or thickness or strength. All that is done is the plastic around it is recast. For these wheels, one might consider the entire outer ring "the grip," as these wheels generally have finger grips all the way 'round.
Hard to imagine that this would have any impact on DOT requirements.

It was just a curiosity. I wanted to get my grip recovered and asked the guy if he redid the entire wheel. He said that DOT came down on him and that he was only allowed to touch the grip part and not the wheel itself as far as restoration goes. Sounded kinda silly to me but...................................

FWIW, it seems that email address for Magnus is no good. My email bounced as unable to locate the MX for the domain (that's the receiving mail server or firewall).
I'll follow up if/when I locate a better contact email for him. Sorry to disappoint.

Koch also can do 67-68 LeMans GTO deluxe wheels now.
I just spoke with them and verified it. So 64 65 66 67 68 deluxe are do-able @ $600 each recast Would 67 Bird Deluxe not match up to 67 GTO Deluxe ? And seems like 67 wood rim would be applicable to 65-66 wood rim too. Current list : Pontiac 1940 Pontiac 1941-1948 Pontiac 1951-1953 Pontiac 1954 Pontiac 1957 Pontiac GTO & Lemans 1964-1965 Pontiac GTO 1966 Pontiac 1966 Clear Pontiac 1967 Top Clear Pontiac 1967 Simulated Wood Pontiac 1967-1968 |

Cammer , how many 68 Bird wing down deluxe core wheels do you have ?
Out of pure speculation I am going to guess that once a proper recast mold was made - perhaps any 67 68 deluxe 3 spoke wheel could be recast as a 68 Bird WingDown Wheel ? |

I'm guessing the 67 Top Clear has the 67 Bird & Full Size covered.
