These do not yet extend down close to the bolt holes. Fortunately, I have eight of the wheels, but would like to have a full spare set.<div><br></div><div>I'm thinking an aluminum sleeve could be machined and welded inside the hub for reinforcement, and the crack welded up.</div><div><br></div><div>I can't find anyone local who wants to mess with it. Any recommendations? I can ship the wheels, even have the sleeve made in advance. I'm not sure what the compatible alloy to these rough cast wheels is, however.</div><div><br></div><div>Hate to give up on them - they're a nice period piece and are otherwise overbuilt, but when drilled for this bolt hole spacing it took just a bit too much off the hub, 45 years ago! </div><div><br></div><div>Lastly, any good wheel alternatives - no offense to anyone, but I'd like not to go to the Minilite look.</div></body></html>
