Has anyone ever straightened a wire wheel? If so, How?
I have several nice 40 spoke Kelsey Hayes wire wheels that I set up on a spindle & hub with a dial indicator mounted to the work bench to check for run out - most are really nice & true, but they all seem to have something from a slight wobble to one with a bad wobble. I have a few ideas of my own in conjunction with a good hydraulic press and a fixture to hold the spindle & hub rigid while I rotate the wheel to the high wobble spots and then press down, but I am wondering if anyone has been successful with their home grown attempts & possibly some pictures to along with their experiences?
Thanks, Steve
