Repair of a Magnesium Wheel?
A friend has an old magnesium Motor Fly wheel that was bent, in the process of fixing the wheel it was cracked. Does anyone have a recommendation on who could weld and straighten this wheel. It is to old and valuable to just throw away. thanks, Dyno

Re: Repair of a Magnesium Wheel?
The magnesium Fly's were notorious for cracking .
I had several sets in the '70s that cracked when they were only 4-5 years old ,not 40 + years old ...... regardless of reparability, I would NEVER use the wheel for anything but a show car or a display . If you Zyglow the wheel you will undoubtedly find more cracks that haven't opened up yet.
