Re: Plating sanity check please...

I looked for the code stamped on the rims and did not see any. The rims were rusty and in poor shape when I sent them to be chrome plated I understand they could be removed from the polishing they do to the steel before and during the rechroming process. If you wanted those codes left on I am sure t...

Re: Plating sanity check please...

The rims came the other day and as usual are just gorgeous! They do the best job at a very reasonable price. I am going to have them respoked by Buchanans wheel and rim in Azusa California next. They also do a great job. Good luck

Re: welding engine cases

Thank you Gentlemen for the advice. I will probably send some cases to Rich. Yes TIG is probably best. But I will try some aluminum brazing on a case myself.

welding engine cases

I have some model 93 engine cases that I bought recently and just noticed a small break in the upper left case. Some dummy took a prybar to the engine to disassemble it and broke it. I was thinking about buying some aluminum brazing rod and trying to seal it up. I also have some other cases that hav...
