Mark H. Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 What has been put on it, some sort of filler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 More like some form of metal glue, i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 That may explain why its not leaking air i guess. The one on the inside of the wheel does look like it has been cut straight, rather than a natural crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 A lame attempt to repair the wheel methinks We can repair this type of crack but the crack needs to be cut out to stop the fracture creeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTLY Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Do you get them to sign a disclaimer before you let them take the car away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Do you get them to sign a disclaimer before you let them take the car away? No because nothing we're working on could influence the defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
