Chrome alloy hubbed skyways???
« on: July 31, 2013, 02:09 PM »
Was in the man shed last night having a sort out and dug up an old set of yellow skyways i had almost forget about. They need a really good resto and i noticed the hubs were flaking  ???
They are riveted and the chrome/nickel etc whatever the plating is has confused me, i thought they were all alloy so what is there to flake off?  :-\

Pics tonight if i can get the camera charged  :daumenhoch:
