Hey Phil when you get home send me a pm with the name of the stuff please I have one cracked wheel and one with a hairline, I want to practice on one and see if it works, did you try and fill any 1/16 " cracks or how big were they.

There have been quite a few wheel resto articles in various magazines and most of them use some type of epoxy....I recall you needed to open up hairline cracks and V them out so the epoxy has something to hang on to....sand & paint and it looks excellent....

I've used a epoxy called PC-7. Two part stuff,mix it and have fun.....

I don't have the complete wheel, but I do have the center section is anyone needs one of these. Says SS only.

What was the final word on which cars should have "SS" and which should have SS396"? Was it determined, or are we still trying to figure it out?

[Nova Research Project]

I am still looking into it. What I really need is the part numbers off of the emblems. Looks like the change was made in the parts system early 1968. But that does not tell when the production line switched or what should have been on what car.

Greg there is NO part number on the SS396 emblem that I can see...the shroud number is 9748912 CBL CAV.2

Pete-
Can you unscrew the SS emblem off your shroud and give the part number to shed some light?

Looking at the 1968 Dealer Salesman Album,they show a 1968 Chevelle SS steering wheel with an SS396 emblem on it.
Looking at a revised 1968 Chevelle Dealer Brochure,they show the Same picture,with an SS emblem on it.
This is a later distrubuted brochure,so as CJoe stated earlier,I would think that the early cars received the earlier description,and later cas the later description.
The 1968 Impala & Camaro do not show any Steering wheel shots in their literature.

The Parts books say:
*Horn Shroud emblem #3925881 is for 1968 Camaro w/deluxe wheel w/350 & 396.And also 68 Impala SS w/o woodgrained wheel.

*Horn Shroud emblem #3925196 is for 1968 Chevelle SS.

*Canadian SD Beaumonts used the Standard emblem.

The emblem on my Beaumont has 2 maple leaves in it. The emblem on the deluxe steering wheel in my sales brochure also has the maple leaves. The standard steering wheel has the Beaumont emblem in it.
