Subject: Re: Wheel Discs for LG45
Will Feinnes of Feinnes Restoration. It wasn't, how shall I put this, a seamless process... Excellent quality so no issues there but I must have made 8 trips from Kent to Gloucestershire - many of which were a complete waste of time. The whole process took over 18 months.
Will has the wooden former for my discs but as I had them made to fit new wheels I can't be certain that they have the same hub to rim offset as your wheels. You would need to give them a wheel to work with. If they're the same as mine then it couldn't possibly take as long as they'll have the former for spinning the discs. The machined parts will be turned by them from billets. Plating always seems to take a while. All that said, Imwould use Feinnes again because to me it's the quality that counts above anything else.
Give me a call if you're thinking of pursuing this as I have some thoughts about how I would do it next time round. I've possibly got some spare bits and pieces you could borrow.
Lmarr in the US eventually offered me a price that was very favourable but it came through after I'd placed orders with Feinnes and I wouldn't go back on a deal once agreed. Lmarr's original price was way out once you factored in import duties so it was frustrating that he didn't just give me his best price from the outset.
