| As presented. One of a number of AEC wheels that we received requiring a total rebuild. Quite a challenge, owner was desperate, because he couldn't find another for his truck. |
 |
| Salvaging what little I could of this wheel. |
 |
| New rim fitted, leaving sections of the original thickness on the spokes as a guide. |
 |
| New centre beginning to take shape. My Dad's old lathe is invaluable! |
 |
| Start of forming up the spokes. I used a two part epoxy with high tensile strength to sculpt the spokes. |
 |
| Beginning to take shape - trick is to get the correct contours. |
 |
| prepared and sealed ready for plastic top coat. |
 |
| Wheel finished and ready for another 50 years. |
