BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
any one kniow how to date them ? (year wise)
'82 maybe by 8 in the middle and then pointing to about 2 ?
sawzall:
i think i might have a bit of webbing you can have :daumenhoch:
oldschoolace:
Just an odd thought but one way to repair the webbing, barring the obvious replacement with another piece, might be to cast a mold of the section you need from elsewhere on the wheel in plaster of Paris.
Then with the mold clamped in place over the missing section fill it with either lead (the easy option) or aluminium (a bit harder to get to melting point but easy enough with the right torch)
:daumenhoch:
oldschoolace:
A very rough idea of how easy it is to smelt aluminium :daumenhoch:

cheers mate I did think of this way first but ! - would the alloy after smelting be strong enough to ride ? what impurities it would have and how long before it snapped - it would work if it was for a show queen - next would be to match it up in could and pattern - the original webbing already has the same structure and it may just be to cut and shut it with using the stuff above link (cheers rodriguez :daumenhoch:) then it could be sanded off and smoothed in
just a thought so far ?
any one do this before ? any other ideas so i can see what is what before i do any thing ?
cheers B
