I'm now starting on the restoration of the wheels off the 365 GT4 2+2. Can anyone advise the best way to remove the chrome disc on the wheels? Also, what is the best way to clean and prepare the wheels ready for a repaint? Any tips gratefully received. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I've got a pdf from MEL-Magnesium Elektron that describes the process of prepping magnesium but unable to upload it here for some reason, here's their contact info.. PO Box 23, Swinton Manchester M27 8DD ENGLAND Telephone 0161-911 1000 Telex 667817 MELMANG Facsimile 0161-911 1010
The nuts are under the chrome trim. Start with a bundle of icecream sticks Get one under the outside of the trim about 6 places around Then gently lever up till you get 2 then 3 and so on It helps to tap/vibrate the wheel center to encourage the trim up. You will cup them this way which will require pressing back to flat OR just buy a new set -- not that expensive and reasonably available -- Rutlands / GT parts etc
