tightwoods Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 The plating on the inside of the front hub is peeling off. Can this be stripped and replated (chrome or ?). Are steel or cast iron liners available that I could purchase and install myself? I can machine out the hub to fit the liner. Thanks. tightwoods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Standard problem on those hubs. Yes most get sleeved in steel or cast iron. If you are doing it yourself the thing to watch out for is that there is not much thickness available in the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdm Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 It looks like Bultaco.com can reline the hub with a steel liner. I have the same issue with the rear hub on my 183 but haven't decided to get the job done yet. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
