Al wheel repair

admin

Customer said "something" went thouugh tire and hit wheel fracturing area and making it "pooch" out. Drilled out fractures, ground clean the gouge in bead sealing area. I welded gouged area first and held torch on for a little while so it would preheat edge of casting. This is evident in pic of outside bead area, the powder coat is burnt. Then welded hole inside and out. Flapwheel'ed area.Peter Attached Images
