[QUOTE="oexing, post: 100677, member: 1493"] Chris, did you try that before ? I imagine there is a lot of tension on that ring from the spokes. So I guess that ring had to be very massive. I was thinking about special welding but magnesium is a bit problematic and it would not be done at acceptable price most likely. Instead I´d go for just a new hub, still in production from Molnar and other sources. Actually I don´t need to repair that pictured hub, got a perfect one from a friend, the golden painted in the photo. But then there is no active project to include the Fontana for a while, may go onto a 750 Laverda. In my eyes a Fontana is great for Eglis but not quite in the spirit of more standard Rapides or Shadows so I will keep the twin drum set albeit my own design I think. Vic [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
Verification
The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
