Need a magnesium wheel machined

[pOrk]

Any suggestions as to where to take it? Looks like one of the bearings spun and jacked up the hole, so the hub will need to be machine to accept an over sized bearing on one side. Any idea what this will cost?

Its an expensive wheel, so I do want to get it fixed. Its a carbonfiber rear motorcycle wheel with magnesium hub, if it matters.

Is the hub removable? If so you may be able to turn it assuming the surface you are chucking on is concentric to the center line of the hub. If not it may prove more difficult to machine. If you can't remove the hub you may have to fixture the entire wheel and use a boring head in a vertical mill. Which may be hard to locate given your goobered up bore. Cutting Mag is really no different than machining aluminum, carbide tooling works well. Post a picture!

theres a place on pennsylvania avenue (s. milwAUKEE) THEY DO ALL KINDS OF MACHINING AND ARE VERY REASONABLE (caps sorry.) you can find them under "Crack Eliminators" in the phone book, the owners name is Dan and he can weld/fabricate anything anyone needs as well. i would almost gaurantee these guys could do it, given you can give them the proper measurments you need.

they dont deal with cars directly, so dont bring them a muffler job, but if you needed someone to machine something.. i always suggest them.

shit, i just hope there still in businuss.. idky where i work, we stopped dealing with them.. they were the shit for "hey we need a shaft made real quick..."

I highly doubt he could tell you the type of interference fit he wants, haha. Really depends on the bearing and application.

Do they help those with "plumber's crack"?

No idea, and no I didn't purchase bearings yet. You could pick it up or I could drop it off, any idea on price?

Yo, tried to PM you a few times on this, maybe its not going through? Let me know whats up, I gotta get this wheel fixed so I can get it shipped :thumbsup

Anyone else that can do this? I have no idea what to do here, just want it done and if you can get me the bearings I need that would be great too :thumbsup

This is the wheel in question, I took a few close ups of what needs to be repaired and tried to show the small movement the bearing makes side to side but sure doesn't show it self in these...

Sorry Pork, been swamped.

Can't you just press a new bearing into the wheel?

Don't think so, the outer race is wobbling around

If SLOWC5 is too busy, send RFQs to these places, talk to the quoting engineer.
