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?  |

I have a mill, and a sandblasting cabinet you are welcome to use if you get inspired to DIY this. Rich |
