Yes, they are flat metal with the tabs bent at right angles. My rubber was totally rotten, but I dont think it needs to be bonded as the screws will hold it tight anyway. I would think that a galvanised or stainless material would work nice, but it needs to be rather thin so it can bent to the body shape but also be stiff enough to actually hold the rubber.

My steering wheel is black as the car was a standard model. No fancy paint here. Seeing as yours is painted already I think it would look great in the same cream as the body. The auto paint works great, just roughen it up with some sanding paper. I did this on my 61 chev steering wheel and it is still in good condition. What is your plans with the dash?
