I have to replace several broken spokes on a wire wheel from my 72 MGB. I would appreciate any pointers on this repair. Thanks very much in advance--in several months of lurking I have learned a gre

This may be "neanderthaler" advice, since it was the technique I used on the MGA I raced at Mosport back in 1964. I just removed the old spoke, installed the new one and tapped on it as I tightened i

it's quite possible that it is not worthwhile to repair the wheel. I expect many others on the MG list will tell you how to do it, but you should compare the cost of repair against the cost of a new

Keep in mind that new ones may not be available. I spent years sourcing original wires for my TC (3 of my wheels are TA wheels, laced on the outer portion of the rim instead of the centre) because th

I know I've done this -- let me see if I can recall the procedure. I need to replace three more sometime soon (they're contagious -- once you get one on a wheel they start to multiply). I didn't comp

It's true that even Santa Cruz Wire Wheel will tell you that, now (they no longer accept wheels for repair, apparently). But just compare the cost of 1 or 2 spokes and an hour's time to the cost of a

(trying desperately not to be rude but...) What exactly are you doing that you are breaking spokes on your chrome wheels every year??? My car has the original factory painted wires, I drive the car f

Must concur; I raced a season and a half at Mosport on old painted wire wheels in 1964 & 65 (MGA 1600) and never broke a spoke. I replaced about five before the first season started and also "tuned"

Well, you've given me an opportunity to vent, so here goes: The freeways around here are kept in an appalling state of disrepair. This is scarcely surprising given the fact that they are used at 110%
