Just had a couple of Technomagnesio wheels refurbed at BJV Engineering near Kings Langley. Great job at a great price.

For removing the tyre, repairing a nasty dent, repsraying to a high standard, refitting the tyre and balancing, they charge £34 per wheel.

If there's no rubber to mess about with the price drops to £24.50!

That's an amazing price.

Cheapest I've got it done is £50 per wheel cash.

I actually been thinking about this for a while now(similar to Ace suppliers). Rather than bury this thread under the technical discussion.

Ace suppliers or Trade directory should be under a new section.

Not sure about that one - one person has a positive experience with a supplier, one has a negative - does the supplier still get listed in the directory?

Brian James Trailers are a case in point - Mark had an extremely positive experience, mine wasn't as good. At least on a forum, the pros and cons of a supplier can be discussed.

[/quote]I don't think there'll be a product and service which will guaranttee 100% satisfaction, there'll always be someone somewhere complaining(don't get me wrong, I'm not directing the comment at you), but in general Brian James trailers are being recommended....

It doesn't have to be trailers, If someone found a cheap tyres suppliers, they could post it under this section, Bruce once recommended a dry lubricant called Sailkote, also opie oil etc etc......

[g8kam]

Talking about dry lubricant, I wholly recommend 3 in 1 silicone spray, it lubricate, it protects electrics, it repels water, safe on most surfaces, and it dries fast, I think its as good as Sailkote, if not better

Sorry - this thread should only be personal recommendations - not what you've heard, chaps.

I had a nice long reply ready to go, but some keystroke obliterated it. http://wheelcollision.com in Bath, PA (USA) does great work at a reasonable price, even on wheels thought to be non-repairable. They have patents on a number of their methods and machines, and license them to other shops. If you're too far away from Wheel Collision Center, ask about any affiliates / licensees. And, of course, if the UK contingent comes into New York and drives to AtomFest, you could drop 'em off on the way down and pick 'em up on the way back - theyre just off I78 once you get into Pennsylvania.

Where can i find the wrenches for adjusting the suspensions (not sure what they are called either)... A UK or EU site preferably...

I used https://www.polevolt.co.uk/ these guys to source a replacement fuse holder (don't ask). Not only was it a great price, but I got it delivered next day (UK). They also seem to stock lots of useful other hard to find 'bits', no affiliation but would recommend!

Cheers.
