[TR] 9. Wire wheel repair NYC/Tri-state area (Greg)

[Ann Carletta]

 Hi Greg,
Thanks for the info on Hendrix Wheel.  Will keep in on file.
If Tenafly is close, maybe we're neighbors.  I'm in Edgewater.  If you have the car out for a drive one day, stop by.

Thanks Ann.

  

Good to know about that shop.  They’re fairly close.

  

It seems that Hendrix Wheel might be a good option also, and worth the shipping costs, since they do a lot of wire wheel work.

HI Greg,

  

You can try Log Cabin Auto Services in Tenafly,NJ  201-567-6297.  

  

They replaced my tires on wire wheels for the TR3 a few years ago, so maybe they can do the wheels as well.  Was tough to find someone to do the tires as no one had the machine for the tubes.  They knew what they were doing and I would use them again.

Greetings,

  

  

  

I just discovered two broken spokes in one of the wire wheels on my TR4A.

  

  

  

(I now have a better understanding of Jim?s desire to move on from wire wheels.)

  

  

  

Although I?m capable of repairing the spokes and truing the wheel, I?d certainly consider paying someone else to do it.

  

  

  

Does anyone have a reference for someone who works on wire wheels in the New York City/Tri-state area?
