In theory it should be to difficult to find somewhere local to you. The process has been around for years. Alot of companies aim there attentions at vintage motorbike restoring as its great for engine blocks, frames, swing arms etc  :daumenhoch:

i'll have to search vapour blasting locally then, as i did the same as you and looked for aqua blasting. all that shows up is everything from bloody garden hoses to full blown power washer's.

If ya plan on riding them fella then maybe just use rim decals on the top surface of the rims as the early US made pat pending Z Rims have... that way you ain't worried about anything rubbing off  :daumenhoch:

sorry for the thread hijack but has anyone got the definitive Timeline details for Z rims?  as i have never bought into this early Pat pending stuff.

I had a set of Z rims back in about 82 and mine had white markings on the rims and also embost Pat Pending written on the rim........my belief is that they all had white markings on them but just got whiped off within 5 minutes of someone using a brake pad on them  ???

Hey fella.. I bought my first pair late 1980 from Dennis Cristian at Viking Sales and Spares in Davyhulme, Manchester. They definetely did not have the stampings on the braking surface.. just the decal as pictured.
A friend of mine purchased a black pair in 1983 with the logos on the sides so I was always under the impression that when production started in the UK that was when they started putting the logos on the sides of the rims  :daumenhoch:
