D Bottom Steering Wheels
I can not seem to locate the Canadian firm that was producing "D" Bottom wheels for C7's.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think you're talking about Caravaggio.

Rix,
There are several Vendors who make these....Caravaggio is one, Andrew at The DoubleAA makes them and Apsis USA make "Flat Bottom" steering wheels.
TheDoubleAA and Apsis USA are not in Canada, but will ship there.

I did a search for you using our Search Engine.
I entered "John@caravaggio corvettes", which gave me this search.....

DSV...Down South Vettes makes a very fine "D" Bottom...mostly Carbon Fiber based, where John Caravaggio's product is more a custom fit with the interior of the C7 since he used actual leather from GM. That said I have had products from both and both are vey well made with the Caravaggio being far more expensive with the options I went with. Here is what he made for me to my spec...I hope this helps

That is exactly what I want. I just can't seem to get contact info for John that works. I had a response form him and I can't find it. Search bring up nothing.

Another Custom DSV.....
D-Bottom with a semi-flat top. Adrenalin Red & Black with factory C7 style Red Stitching.
It's very well made and the price is very fair.
