Subject: Re: Wheel Discs for LG45
David
I did send you an email with my telephone number suggesting you call me so I could explain - but perhaps you did not get this ?
However for the benefit of anyone else who might be attracted to the idea : -
Simply line up the alumunium cast centre over the centre of the wheel and drill a few holes in the edges (where they cannot be seen after the disc and screwed ring are on). It can easily be centred using the wheel disc itself. Insulate the aluminium centre from the wheel with some foam, cloth or something similiar before using the cable ties to grip the centre in position. Use as many cable ties as you think necessary. I think I used about 5 or 6. Then fix the disc and other bits with the screwed ring etc.
I did not bother with the disc that goes on the back of the wheel as it cannot be seen and I think it could be a real nuisance. Theoretically the rear of the wheel could become dirty over time but does that matter ?
OK it is not a "proper" way of doing it but I think it is much kinder to the wire wheel and perhaps a more secure fix anyway.
Hope this helps.
Bill
