New Products in Classifieds

#1 Post by Jeffrey Fellman »

You have to admit i do not post very often but the monitors said when I make a completely new product I can announce it on 356 Talk . We have just created new reproduction T6 wheels and they are on the Classifieds. This was a big step for us as the tooling for the armatures was quite an investment. I know I never look at the Vendor new product page, at least I haven't in the last ten years so I assume you guys don't either. We hope you like them, Jeffrey fellman

I am pretty sure VDM is kaput, at least we have never gotten any hate letters

Jeff,

How are you? Haven't talked in a while. Are you still in the Sarasota area? Good luck with the steering wheels. Your horns worked out great.

Jeffrey this is huge news. Are you saying the entire wheel is reproduced, not just older wheels refinished and a new rim added? That would magnificent! The finish even looks spot on for my original wheel that took quite a bit of time to find in good condition.

I hope you keep those in stock for a while, because the wood one will be in my future someday.

Because it's not stealing if you don't get caught, right?

The parent company went puff and spun off several sub units non of which continued to make steering wheels as far as I could find
