*** RE ANNODISING HUBS****

(1/1)

noelg:
Hi Guys from downunder
 i am seeking advice on how to remove the metal insert from alloy hubs so i can get them reannodised
cheers noel

meticulous:
i think if you didnt knacker the hubs getting them out, you would most certainly knacker them getting them back in, and that would be on your new anodice.....  :-[

stidds:
It isn't really possible to be honest, I spoke to my anodiser about this and he said that the inserts are near impossible to remove.  I had to have my hubs painted instead of anodised.

customparts:
Hello I'm an anodiser and it is possible depending on which hubs.  have you got a picture of them so I can see and tell ya if it is possible. I'm doing some at the moment but I can't remember the name I will find out later and let you know. A good anodiser would mask off the steel parts and still be able to anodize them!  Are the hubs already anodized?

the hubs in question will be suntour high flange,most likely been already anno'd
the reason for the query is that i need a set ,to be goldso if i purchase any color i want to know if it is possible
the anno guy over here said all the metal MUST be removed b4 anno, otherwise they will arc out or some sh*t like that
