Depending on how hot, you can often times buff and polish out the
discoloration in stainless steel. The other thing to keep in mind is with
Dayton wires, any heat you apply to the junction between the rim and the
spoke will seriously mess up the sealant that Dayton applies all the way
around the inside of the inner rim. The sealant is used so you can use
tubeless tires without any worries of air leakage past the spokes. It
accumulates in the individual spoke holes in the rim, and at that point is
about 1/8" thick in each depression.

You'll have to reference Piggot's book, at the moment I don't have my copy,
so I cannot be certain on that point.

I think there is an "Original" book for the Healeys too, which I do not
own... since my level of interest in the Big Healeys starts with the 100 and
ends with the 100-6.
