Are those vinyl dots or paint done by a mask?
Just curious.

Cory,
I found some on e-bay, but that was a long time ago.

Hi Bill,

I scratched on a OEM dot with an Exacto knife and was able to remove tarnish and shine them up.  I don't think they are vinyl.  They seam hard like metal.  So I am assuming they are metal and not painted on.  I have not determined if they are aluminum or steel.

Hi all,

Since I could not find a source, I tried making my self.  They are close to OEM, but if there is a better source for a more accurate dot, please let me know.  The tool I acquired is used for punching holes in sheet metal, .25 inch diameter.  It has a center point and does dimple the dot.  The resulting dot looks very similar to the dots on the reproduction steering wheels.

Take care

Cory

I did also several years ago. As of August of 2022, they look to be currently still available on Flea-Bay:
