There is an obvious difference that hasn’t been picked up on yet.....the 1960s original part is the one on the bottom, it is unrestored and from a 13K mile 289 Cobra.

Do you mean the length of the slots? If so, can you give the measurements? I'd be interested to know as I don't remember 6029's being any different.
Are the spokes narrower on the old one? Hard to tell in the photo!

Thanks Bernie, yes - the new wheel slots are 90mm. Not sure I'd call it a replica, they've been in continuous production by the same company for 50 years - more like 'the current offering' I think!

Are the spokes narrower?
