two of the 13x6 cosmics for my GT6 are developing hairline cracks in the =
hub/center cap area. These do not yet extend down close to the bolt =
holes. Fortunately, I have eight of the wheels, but would like to have =
a full spare set.
I'm thinking an aluminum sleeve could be machined and welded inside the =
hub for reinforcement, and the crack welded up.
I can't find anyone local who wants to mess with it. Any =
recommendations? I can ship the wheels, even have the sleeve made in =
advance. I'm not sure what the compatible alloy to these rough cast =
wheels is, however.
Hate to give up on them - they're a nice period piece and are otherwise =
overbuilt, but when drilled for this bolt hole spacing it took just a =
bit too much off the hub, 45 years ago! =20
Lastly, any good wheel alternatives - no offense to anyone, but I'd like =
not to go to the Minilite look.=
