Damaged Aluminum Rims
"VW Golf Cart" wrote: I just purchased aluminum rims that were damaged on the lip. Would it be possible to weld a lip back on it? (clip) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I did that once on an aluminum drive pulley to a Judson supercharger, and I'm not even that good a welder. But next to my office was a machine shop full of friends. After you weld, chances are you will need to mount the wheels on a lathe and trim off the excess weld bead. That could cost you more than the welding, if you have to pay to have it done. |
