I know Tim Tesnow makes both types (hex and round) I purchased a set of round ones from him that were polished and he supplies the hardware. They are top notch quality. Do a search on the cal-look forum for Tim's info.

Magne "Mags" or "Magsraceworks" makes some real nice one. Give him a try.

 I want a set too, but the ones from Magne don't seem very shiny? (see picture at the website)
 Does he also manufacture the larger version for modelyear '68 and up?

Magne's work looks top notch! Looks like he can make anything from the pictures on his website.

Another pic of Magneīs T-Bars, again they have a VERY nice flat finish but they polish right up to a mirror finish if you want to.

With all due respect to the guys who make them, EMPI and Bugpack sell some pretty decent ones too.

Self made ones are cool - but I canīt weld Aluminium :-( 

The empi ones etc. are just chromed steel - right ?

I seem to remember that Art Thraen made a set of plastic T bars for his race car - I think the full set weighed less than one steel one or a pair of alu ones! :D

Bugpack and EMPI actually do make them in aluminum. As far as following the cars lines I don`t know.
