Re: McLaren wheel lug repair

Well here’s an update on my McLaren wheels purchased around 2007. After dismounting the spare I found the lug was welded on the inside. Thanks Mark McLaren for a professional product! I really did need the practice breaking down the tire anyway!!!!! John Monticciolo Oscoda, Michigan 5E1ECF61-2344-45...

Re: McLaren wheel lug repair

Hey thanks for the input, going to start dismounting all the tires & finding a good welder to fix things right soon. POR 15 should have a coating that could work, have used their products for years with excellent results. Will post the results when finished.

Re: McLaren wheel lug repair

Kevin, that thread is exactly what I am referring to.. I purchased the wheels in the 2007 time frame, just got the T on the road last summer. Now that I am back home for summer, just had opportunity to look at the lugs and I think I have the same issue.

McLaren wheel lug repair

Just examined my McLaren wheels, they need the lugs welded to be safe. Has anyone taken the next step and had the welding done? Back side of wheel or both sides? Also what have you done about the galvanize that gets removed during welding. Thanks

Re: Wood Spoke Void Filling?

I had same issue... I used West System Marine Epoxy, need to use the SLOW activator. Also spread old fashion PLAY DOE around the top nipple & the flats of the mating surface of the spoke. The play doe won’t let stain or epoxy in that area, simply chip away after it dries.

I have the same problem, it took a lot of time sanding down the lining .. got a sweet spot at the lever w/ the rear levers position correct. Hope the conditions improve over time, but the hand lever doesn’t have the travel that is normally observed. Thanks for opinions..

Re: Sta-Bil or Seafoam?

I have used both products for years, Sea Foam is very good but is used as a fuel cleaner, also can be used in oil to clean crankcase. Sta Bil is used as a fuel treatment for off season storage, but it will only last 1 season & needs to be redone for the next season.
