Hi All,
Not exactly in half , but just the face of one.
I have an integrale wheel that, (like the sad git I am), I would like to hang on the wall. If not in the house then in the garage.
I need to slice off the front of it but am not keen at going at it with a Jigsaw, as I like my fingers, arms and legs too much.
I have tried a few metal working places near me (east london), but no luck so far.
Any ideas of who might be able to do this ?
Many thanks carlos

Hi Carlos
Glad I'm not the only daft one! I had one of my 16" evo wheels in the rockery for ages, very nice it looked too.
It had cracked on the inside rim of the wheel after a visit to the Isle of Man. Now they are so scarce its back in the garage just in case it can ever be repaired.
Regards
Steve

On that basis just knock a circular hole in the wall and mount the wheel as a window.porthole - sounds a lot cheaper and retains value!

Hi Steve, I take it you have an Alpine between each section, what about a photo? That reminds me, I thought we were going to get a gallery for the photos at some time? Brian 8227

steve we often see cracked wheels in work and there is a very good engineering company around the corner from me who repair them, they do a first class job so hang on to it!!! basically they grind the crack out to a V shape and tig weld it up, then they sand it back down, so far NONE have come back ! so they do a good job

I guess since Lancia wheels are so "soft", ie, they deform easily, they are not heat treated. So welding should be just fine. Neil

Thankyou Richard,
Spoke to Mike at Barnby Engineering in rochester, and what a nice man, he can slice the wheel in half for £40.
Thanks again guys.
Carlos
