    Have some nice non pitted K/H bent spoke 16" wire ford wheels. Found a few of the short spokes that attach to the wide part of the center hub broken/missing. What is the best way to fix these? Can they be fixed in my shop or do I need to send them away to be fixed? Have a donor wheel if needed. Thanks

    Don't KH wires unbolt? I thought that was the point of using them, tougher than the old ford wires. Can you unbolt them from your donar wheel?

    PM Wheelkid, he'll be able to tell you.

    these are the weld in type not the kind with a threaded spoke and ******. Could remove the rest of the broken spoke with out to much trouble. not sure of how to fit and reweld in a replacement.
