marv Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Looking good mate ..What process/measures are you putting in place to make sure your welding them "true"/"straight" ??Interested to know as Im pretty good with a welder .. Wonder whether I might have a go ..I first of all tacked the new band to the old outer lip. Once tacked I refitted it to the wheel using some existing marks if made previously. I then loaded the wheel into the lathe to make sure it's running true (from standard the wheels have a run off, they're not made to a tight tolerance) when I'm happy with it I put some good tacks on the band to the wheel. When I fully welded them I stagard the welds to try help it from pulling etc. I'm happy how the first two have come out so far. Got a friend who is going to fit tyres and check for leaks before I paint them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
