(1/2) > >>

Was in the man shed last night having a sort out and dug up an old set of yellow skyways i had almost forget about. They need a really good resto and i noticed the hubs were flaking  ???
They are riveted and the chrome/nickel etc whatever the plating is has confused me, i thought they were all alloy so what is there to flake off?  :-\

Pics tonight if i can get the camera charged  :daumenhoch:

Mk 1 Tuff IIs were steel hubbed  :daumenhoch:

oldschoolace:
Was the steel plated with anything do you know?

MartyC:
they were chrome so probably copper and nickle underneath that

oldschoolace:
Ah cheers captain, trip to the shot blasters with them then methinks  :daumenhoch:
