Remedial
work seen on Dunlop composites
Whilst I was
at the Barons auction at Sandown Park near Esher on Tuesday this week
I inspected an MGBGTV8 which was there for sale by auction that afternoon.
During my
inspection I found the original Factory fitted Dunlop composites had
been given an interesting "spruce up" and would be interested
to hear from any fellow members who have seen examples of similar
remedial work.

From my inspection it appears any corrosion on the steel rims,
which forms near the join between the chromed steel rim and
the alloy centre, had been removed and then the metal painted
with a narrow strip of silver paint. Unless you make a very
close inspection, spotting that tyype of remedial work would
be easily missed. The removal of corrosion on the chromed steel
rim appears to have left a slight drop in the surface on the
chrome rim as you run your finger over it, so presumably the
removal of corrosion on the rim has resulted in the thickness
of the steel rim being
reduced slightly near the join with the alloy centre. Photo
