Banjo wheel repair

Has anyone had to replace any spokes on a banjo steering wheel? I have a few broken ones and was curious on the best way to do so. Are they stainless? I assume they just wont slide through the little bracket in the middle. I'd appreciate help.
Thanks

I had a couple of broken spokes welded by a very experienced stainless steel welder. Its a PITA to repair one of these banjo wheels, but it can be done. Use PC7 to repair the outer rim.
 
Don't make any hard turns. When one breaks, the rest can fail like falling dominoes and distort the rim.
 
Yes if it was mine. Then google search keywords banjo steering wheel restoration and pick somebody. It's gonna cost. But it sure is pretty. But pretty high maintenance too.
 
Last time I checked for a stock repop banjo for my '39 p/u all the usual suspects showed it was out of stock.
