Tony Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Not any more...... The "£700 cracked Merc wheel" in the images below had a particularly bad crack that looked terminal. We can now have the crack cut out And the gap welded Scrap £700 wheel mended for £80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Was the crack right to the edge of the rim or more the centre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAHZ Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Nice job!! So is the weld 100% solid and no chance of cracking again?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 That's impressive - so does that repair make the wheel as good as new in terms of strength? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Cutting the crack out means the repair is very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Cutting the crack out means the repair is very strong. Was that done with an A/C TIG welder, or some clever d*** using MIG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
