Dear TIPEC

Can anyone tell me how I might best refurbish my metal crested wheel centres, taken from my 30 year old 944 Turbo telephone dial alloys? Thanks

Not easy to refurb those, getting the back elements spot on would be tricky.

I am pretty sure they are still available from Porsche.

I think those are prime candidates for aqua blasting. Do a search for CC acqua blasting. I’d be very tempted to send them to him if they were mine.
