Banjo wheel repair
Has anyone had to replace any spokes on a banjo steering wheel? I have a few broken ones and was curious on the best way to do so. Are they stainless? I assume they just wont slide through the little bracket in the middle. I'd appreciate help.
Thanks -Andrew |

Re: Banjo wheel repair
I had a couple of broken spokes welded by a very experienced stainless steel welder. Its a PITA to repair one of these banjo wheels, but it can be done. Use PC7 to repair the outer rim.

Re: Banjo wheel repair
Don't make any hard turns. When one breaks, the rest can fail like falling dominoes and distort the rim.

Re: Banjo wheel repair
So I should find a back up wheel, just in case.

Re: Banjo wheel repair
Yes if it was mine. Then google search keywords banjo steering wheel restoration and pick somebody. It's gonna cost. But it sure is pretty. But pretty high maintenance too.

Re: Banjo wheel repair
Last time I checked for a stock repop banjo for my '39 p/u all the usual suspects showed it was out of stock.
