Ok guys I just won some hp48s off the bay now need help on where to start restoring them I will post pics when I recieve them. I guess I will need all new spokes thinking to try and get new sealed bearings for them, decals off del and a re chrome.

Ady:
Hi bud..
if they are not pitted you could buff them with a polishing tool or mothers paste.
Spokes can be refurbished bit repetitive but worth the effort..
Deffo Del for decals make sure you get the correct type for rims..
What are you planning on fitting them on fistblump

deeman:
Bang a pic up mate...you will need a photobucket or similar account.
As Ady said you may be able to polish them and the spokes. There are s few chromers about depending where you are based

A few years ago I scored my first set of hp48s with satin anodised rims and loose bearing suzue hubs. I converted them to sealed bearings (there's a few peregrine sealed hub kits still out there) by pulling out the original bearing faces from the hubs and widening the opening very carefully which let the sealed bearings in each side. Had the rims reanodized and respoked with stainless steel spokes, came out really good - until I realised that I'd forgotten the decals on the rims and had to slice them at every spoke!!

Here they are sitting on one of my RL's.



and after reanodising....
