[Bmcu] Wheel Balancing

[DUFF LAWSON]

I used a firm rap on a cold chisel to mark across the hub and wheel at the same time.  No problem getting the wheel back on in exactly the same position every time.  Duff

Rob, 
  

  I have had great luck with working with motorcycle shops. They usually 
  have all the right size cones and adapters for the wire motorcycle wheels and 
  they work perfect on our LBC wires.
  

  Cheers,
  Pete Gerity

    If 
    you balance the wheel on the car and remove the wheel for any reason you 
    have to put it back exactly in the same position in relation to the hub. 
      This isn’t such a problem when there are lugs to make note of 
    but with a center-lock wheel it is very difficult to relocate the wheel back 
    onto the exact same position on the splines.   Find someone with 
    on old type bubble balancer that uses a cone type thing for centering.  
    You can still buy one of those from Harbor Freight I think.  That was 
    the way we always did it in the old days and never had any problems with 
    balance.

    It is 
    best if you can find a guy that spin balances on the car instead of 
    bubble or spin balances off the car.  I know Russ Alignment does but 
    they are not near  you. They are at 1915 South Redwood, 973-7439 most 
    in the Healey Club swear by their alignment and they are 
    reasonable.

      Good 
      Day,
      
       
      
      Can 
      any of you recommend an establishment that can balance wire 
      wheels in the vicinity of the Holladay/Millcreek 
      area.
      
      My 
      local tire store doesn't have the proper 
      equipment.
      
       
      
      Thanks 
      for your help and time,
      
       
      
      Rob
