Oh dear! A local tyre fitter (I can think of a better name) has hamfistedly knocked a 6" section of rim out of one of the 427 Halibrand pattern rear Dymags from a 1980s Angliss Mk. IV.
   Most welders who have looked at the damage have declined to attempt such a large repair as it is likely to introduce distortion. Would anyone have a spare rear 9.5 x 15 Dymag Halibrand 427 pattern for sale?

Oh no! One of the muppets at my local chipped both of the rear alloys on my BMW, which is costing them a £150 refurb, as I have not long since had them done! Many sympathies. Jonathan Bradburn has a spare set of Autokraft rims, and possibly individuals, may be a good start point?

Aah. I have just found the wheels I mentioned on eBay (http://"http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/pair-of-refurbished-Ali-Halibrand-type-wheels-for-AC-Cobra-/351490725650") and they are 7.5". Sorry! Maybe Twitfit will have to stump up for a full set?!
