The main work of the last few weeks was grinding, grinding, … as long until all surfaces were smooth and clean.

It is a pretty dirty job and I did use a lot of abrasive paper.

After each grinding cycle, the gloss increased slightly.

Before I went to the galvanic shop, I wanted to make sure that each wheel hub fits to the rim.

It took me quite a lot of time to make these wheel hubs by myself, but it was worth it and I am very happy with the result.
