viking Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 What are the existing wheels like? Could you not send them out for blasting and paint them yourself? i think there a multitude of shapes and sizes, and all pretty bad, my mate looked at them a while ago and said they would need blasting and a fair bit off filling as there were some large rust spots/bubbles, at around £45 each for new ones i dont think its worth the hassle, and out off the 10 wheels i have im not even sure if any are the correct size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 took all my galvanised stuff today for re galvanising, should be ready in a few days, called into paint shop to see how my bits and bats are doing that i took yesterday, should also be ready in a few days . . .

viking Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 he rejected this bit as its ******, only one i can find new to buy is £100 from craddocks, compared to other bits and bats iv bought i would of thought £20-£40, £100 is a bit steep for what it is and wont even bee seen, might have to see if it can be repaired .

viking Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 well as you may or may not remember my baterry holder was a bit on the holly side after it had been shot blasted, so it was a choice of getting it repaired or get another off ebay, so a fresh beginning off ebay it was, £20 . .

viking Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 i took it along with the top of the oil bath to get shot blasted last week, picked them up an hour ago, £15 and came up a treat, then when i got home they were straight in the garage to be primed . . . .
