![]() |
The Rims were full of Sins, rusty with numerous dents and they could tell a story 70 plus years long. |

We demounted all we had then attached them with a bearing to the axle to check how true or "not" they were. |

As seen many dents and problems. |

Heated and straight. |
![]() |
Many dips and dives had to be removed to get them cosmetically nice. |

We sanded them down to a thin surface filling only the scarring pits and irregularities. |

We are missing 2 more rims as they were way to rough to use and also had the wrong triangle cut shapes to match the others. We found a couple of NOSĀ ones to complete our selection including a spare. |

A skim coat of glaze was applied on the front and rear outer rims as they are highly visible. They are painted in black and we want them very nice. |

Sealer was applied on the back side where the rim is riveted to keep any and all water out of the seam. |
