RL7.....Help !

[esso]

Has anyone got a spare 17" RL7 wheel they want to sell ? I took a set for refurbishment today and one of them is cracked completely through the spoke. If anyone has a spare I can purchase for refurb I would appreciate it.....thanks.

Get it welded, if done properly it will be stronger than new.

Its cracked all way through the spoke and I have been advised its not repairable ,managed to source a replacement now....although expensive !

Not sure why it would be deemed un repairable, the first thing the company I suggested using would is to cut the crack out and then build a new spoke section, they have done a couple on my cars, RL7, Range Rover and my daughters Ka.

The repaired wheel is stronger than the original.

Oh well glad you are sorted, where did you get the wheel from as I am thinking of a second set for summer tyres?

I've bought two parts from BH: a Speedo Sensor that didn't work, and a Steering rack that was for a T Car rather than a Cerb. I still have the rack if anyone is interested.
