These are some NOS 5 spokes I found , So after I filed and sanded the lips of the wheels to get ready for hector, My polisher. I made this disk to screw into the cap screw holes so when the wheels where get'n polished he would not lean into the original finish and mess it up

Awesome stuff! How did you make the tunnel bottem removeable? Did you use nut inserts in the pan halves to bolt the bottem back to? I've made repairs to some of the tubes but only from the outside of the tunnel by cutting holes in the sides. Never thougt about taking the bottem off.
