914-6 front hubs. When removing all the brake dust, found
several spots where whatever coating has been compromised and the aluminum started getting eaten. Can this be welded up? These don't look anodized, what did they do to the surface to protect?  |

They're aluminum and they're anodized.
We've done a pair for a customer. Not worth worrying about IMO but, the process would be: 1. De-Anodize 2. Remove blemish with media of your choice. I'd use glass or walnut. 3. Re-anodize. 4. Write a check. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
