Fuchs refurb. Recomendations please.

Post by ianj »

Hi, I am looking for someone to refurb a set of 5 flat six Fuchs for me. They are all in good shape but will require dipping, polishing, re-annodising and painting.
It would be helpful if I could find somewhere within the Midlands area.
Please let me know who did yours, price and quality.

Much apppreciated,

Ian

Nick at Early911 did a great job for me on these:

not to mention the 5.5" spare:

whilst Alan at Canford certainly has the Midas touch and (probably) could be trusted with your wife :)

tuthills are local-ish to you in terms of drop off...think they outsource the job to Biaggi

Hi

Alan did mine a couple of years ago, lovely job....he was happy for me to do the masking and painting which I was keen on just to save a few pounds but more relevant to see how it was done...and although time consuming, itsmvery rewarding and basically straightforward by the way

Am sure Nick is just as good.....Badgio is more expensive I'm sure

When Chris Talabi ran Diamond Styling many years ago, they were the only people in the UK who could restore/refurbish Fuchs wheels correctly.

However after he left (sold the company ?) that was no longer the case.

I didn't know they were still going ...

I love the work Canford Classics are doing on wheels - well worth talking to Alan.
