(This hub refurb starts on page 9)
So now the hubs were ready for a lick of hammerite smooth in silver more on those later.
Now turned my attention to the discs, they werre well within the wear limit indicated by two flats(vented discs) on the outside edge of the discs job for the lathe I deem so here is the before


This time the rust was not so deep so all I need to do was to to skim them, got a good reading with the dti then proceeded to shave them just back to good metal...now apart from the edge which will be blasted they look as good as new

Going back to the hub carrier I mixed up 50/50 hammerite smooth with celly thinners and gave it a good 4-5 thickish coats(old dust caps lightly pressed in to keep the paint out) I will be giving them a coat of clear lacquer when all back together .....so now here is the before and after shot
