Anyone got a pointer to new or reprocution bat wing steering wheels?
I don't, but if anybody would know, it would be John Henry. Track him down and ask him what's up!

Does their work hold up, or is it for trailer-queens only?
Thanks to everyone who responded. It appears that a batwing wheel is among the endangered species. I won't look any further.
I have one in Felatio, and it should have the 56 and later, so if you are in deare need.....

Nope, but I can get hold of a '60(I Think) if that would help you.. I have to pay for it though....

And apparently I'm the only person who noticed Joern said "felatio"?
What have your wives done to you??
(PS Joern, I pulled a bunch of stuff off my old hard drive the other week and found a very interesting picture of you at a car museum or something. :)

A couple of years ago I ground out, mixed epoxy, filled, sanded and painted the steering wheel. It has held up without problems. Now, the important parts. First, I used the epoxy from por-15 because it is so easy to work with as it is "water soluble" until it sets up so molding it and working it into all cracks was very easy. Next sanding should be done very carefully as the epoxy will sand faster than the original wheel and it is easy to groove if you are to aggressive (don't ask). I then painted the wheel with por-15 itself. After it dried, sanded the bubbles out and sprayed it black. Worked for me. Dennis

Sounds like a solid plan to me.
