For those who did not go to the Stafford show, I took a wheel I have had the rim and spokes re-machined back to OEM spec. I will be able to offer this as a service or powder coat and machining can be ordered through Redditch Shot Blasting. The test wheels were scruffy powder coated wheels which had been outside for many years. The front wheel machining process has been finalised, so just waiting on rear wheels which should be available soon.   |

This project is moving on slowly.
The rear wheels are awaiting 3D scanning for the spoke profiles.
I am having CNC stainless steel covers made for masking the front wheels during powder coating.
I am also having custom blanking plates and bungs made for the rear wheels.
Once the blanks/covers are done, it should make the masking/unmasking greatly simplified for powder coated versions.
I also have a front wheel in paint ready for machining to see how that comes out. I am just working on pre-made masks for those who want to paint their wheels. Centres are done, just doing the front spoke covers next.

I may just offer these on an exchange basis, as easier to get them done in batches.
