New life to old hubs.

[Hammered]

I picked up a set of front and rear hubs from Wazz and although they were in good condition, they are 32 years old and could look better. I picked up one of the siphon style sand blaster guns at the local import place, a bag of play sand, PVC gloves and a container from the Harry Homeowner store.

Took the rotor apart from the hub and taped up the wear surface and got ta blasting. Since my color scheme is going to be Satin Black and Copper, I also picked up a can of Hi Temp spray paint. It was on sale as well. It reads as if its a self etching paint so Ill see how well it wears.

There are a few more pictures but seems I can only post 4 per. Well for only about $25 invested in sand, blaster, gloves and bucket to hold the sand while blasting, not bad. Ill build a small cabinet soon in the shed behind my shop thats large enough to fit a swing arm frame in. But for now, this will do.

I think you're using the wrong code in Photobucket. Click on the IMG code line and Copy, Then Paste it into your post. Should come up as large photos

Nice thread!!

No I was referring to the number of photos allowed in each post. If you click on the image, it will open the large one.

sorry to hijack but i was looking at Big T's large photo and said to myself,"that looks a lot like the kind of roads where i ride" and then noticed Big T has listed Oregon as home state. i live in salem and i'm positive i have ridden that same road more than twice.

Can you post an "after" pic of your hubs? I just got a set of wire wheels. I was thinking of buying some stainless steel spokes and cleaning the rims up while I was at it. Are you going to polish the hubs or just clean them up?

[Hammered]

All I did was sandblast them and paint. My color scheme is Copper and Black, kinda Rottweiler-ish. I still need to pick up some black oxide bolts, but I may just wire wheel the heads, prime and paint to match the hubs. Ill be doing a little in the shop today so Ill add the done deal of the hub and rotor. Im still debating on rim sizes so I havent ordered those yet.
