True.....that it's not technically a proper resto, i just thought it was the best place to put the thread :daumenhoch:
Are you a fooking expert at adhesive glue's then? Seeing as this is aerospace grade adhesive i'm pretty sure that these would be strong enough to ride on. Probably more so than original one's, also if i was to sell on then i would be more than willing to let the future owner know what i had done to them. As it is, they're going on a carpet queen that wont be sold :angrysoapbox:
Buz ;) :daumenhoch:

I sold a set of restored red Alloy hubbed tuff lls about 6 weeks ago, fookin beautiful they were, absolutely gorgeous but they only made about £90 odd on EBay, where were all the searchers then? Fact is that out of all the people who love red Tuffs and would readily (it seems) restore a cracked set, it was this guy who bought them and made something great out of them. Yes, an old set could have been restored to a certain standard but clearly nobody else wanted to pay the money for them. It would also be apparent that the adhesive used would be quite strong enough to ride on too.
As far as I can see you took something shite and made something great.
Great job.

Wow, realy couldnt see why this had been done,
Why not get the old set aqua blasted?
Ok you paid the money & they are your wheels to do
Why as you wish, just a shame to fook up a set
Of tuffs,
Why not get nos flanges and get rivetts made
And do the same thing with glue etc?
My two pence worth
