1969 N34 Sport Steering Wheel

Why can't we get someone to reproduce the elusive center cap for this steering wheel!!? It's not very complex and I know of at least a half dozen people (besides myself) that would be willing to spend a good chunk to get one because they are IMPOSSIBLE to find! I know it was a one year only cap but it appears that N34 was a very popular option in '69 so where are they??

When you get to several HUNDRED people willing to pay for a repro, THEN you'll get a manufacturer's attention. Half a dozen would need to be willing to pay thousands each for a repro to cover the tooling and development costs.
