SP72 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Clearing out the garage continues, and i find a 9x16 Fuchs which i bought several years ago. It has a wobble when spun, so quite possibly egg shaped and fit only for uses as a hose reel. Can anyone recommend anyone who could assess it?

Ta Renowheel in Bridgend if you are willing to commit to postage. They have a very good reputation but I expect that you will find someone closer to home.

They have been in business many years, they repaired a Fuchs for me a few years ago that got damaged in transit. They know their stuff. Worth a call ahead before deciding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverjamesthomas Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Here you go; pretty much the ONLY Company you need to talk to: http://www.ianjemison.co.uk/ I’ve had work done by them, as have others I know. They are entrusted with some very rare wheels and I’ve yet to hear a bad thing said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angusb Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I have one similar , awaiting becoming a coffee table. To my knowledge the only way to remove wobble is to lathe the inside of the wheel,t rue ups but weakens........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Couldn’t help with my Fuchs - said the alloy was too hard to re shape (!) Will try the place recommended above when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
