I have a STI8 wheel with a tiny scratch/gouge on one of the spokes.
Is there any body local (Aberdeen area) that might be able to touch it up.

Hi,
There used to be a welder called HOPPY in Subsea, give him a try!

I don't think Hoppy works there any more, and if he did I would'nt let himm near my Garden gate with a TIG torch, never mind my alloys. I have been welding Ally. for 20 years, I would do that part myself but the scratch isn't that deep to warrant welding, I think a thick dod of paint might do the trick.

Cool

Martin,
Use the stuff you repair yer sub with. Seems to be pretty battle-scarred after you've been on the sticks!

Martin,
Surprised you're bothered about the rim, thought the hangin' tyre would have been more interesting if you know what I mean.
C ya on track day.

Thank you snake eyes, I'll give them a try when I get home.

gpimp,
I left the tyre swinging on the "IDONTCARE" and they wont let me put one up on the Perseus but they do have more nanna's.
See you on the 26th at knocker's but you better wear a carnation.
