phil.c Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I know this subject has come up before but has anyone had any luck with repairing bent rims. I have a few lying around that where too out of true for my jeep so went in the shed. Also is it possible to rebuild the stud holes.

skelly Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi Phil. I have thought of this and have collected some bits together to make a straightening jig. I'm hoping to get it built sometime this year. Cheers. Skelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I used 2 pieces of angle iron. I cut the correct curve for inner and outer and bolted them into my big vice. I then heated up the damaged rim and used the vice to tighten the angle iron profile onto the bend et voila, trued rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelly Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yep I'll keep you posted. I will also be able to weld up damaged / oval mounting holes and re-machine them. Give me a month or so as I have my jeep gearbox and a motorcycle to rebuild. Cheers. Skelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
