108 DIY refurb

Post by deka » Fri Jun 01, 2012 5:00 pm

Finally completed the refurb of 108's after following the guides on here,,, wanted to keep them as stock as possible

I wont bore you with all of the pics but here is a selection.

Stripping off the old lacquer

stripped cleaned rim now ready for a polish

the star in primer ready for the final finish
Image

the outer edge after polishing,,,, shame that the clear lacquer will dull this finish

Finished article just letting them bake a bit in the sun before tightening the bolts.

Good effort :)

May I suggest a single bead of silicone sealer around the inside joint once bolted and torqued up. Stops much of the water getting in from the inside.
