banded alloys?

[omex_uk]

Anything's possible with enough equipment, but I think the cost would be prohibitive and also some alloys can react peculiarly to being heated to the extent that TIG welding new sections in will heat them.

Show us an example then?

Is that in america? Its not really an option though, no prices on there so im guessing its expensive.

i was debating banded steels for my next set of rims, but cant justify that much money, after banding them and refurbed, just too much money.

For anyone banding alloys in the UK - good luck getting public liability insurance for that!

I think you're looking at kerayzee money for that.

Not really, I cannot see how they can say they are safe to be honest.

If you don't understand let me explain, it's cover for the manufacturer, to protect them should one of their products fail.

Because they would be altering a product made by someone else, which is possibly already quite a long way through it's working life, which is an important safety item the insurance would be very expensive.

If it was a business operating without public liability insurance they would be open to huge claims, if one of their products failed, especially if injury or death was caused. 

You'd be best off finding a mate who's prepared to do the work for you, although they'd need to be a very skilled mate, who'd be prepared to take a big personal risk.
