This started over on the US Pontiac forum. A man from Australia had some of these reproduced a few years ago, a small quantity. He sold them out but it took a year or two I think. Almost exactly a year ago he posted over there he was interested in doing another small run of them, so I spoke for one to help the cause.
It took almost a year to the day but I got my repro cup tonight. What an amazing piece! It weighs a TON, just like the original and although I have not checked all the dimension yet, it sure looks perfect.

Yes, Cast bronze using lost wax castings. Machining done after and chrome plated. In my opinion, these are better than the originals because they will not pit like the OE pot metal ones.

And I will ad, 63gpman helped us all out by taking shipment of a good part of the lot, then redistributing them to each of the buyers. That way we cut the post office out of a lot of revenue they would have had from shipping all of them singly.
