    Fuchs Repair?

    I have the 5 original Fuchs, dated 6/73, from my 1973.5T. One was damaged by a PO and replaced with a good one from 1972.
    From the pictures, would the damaged one be repairable, and if so worth it?

    That's a question for Harvey Weidman or Al Reed.

    Harvey is the global expert on Fuchs, you might try reaching out again: as a global expert he's in high demand.

    Sorry for the lack of a E mail reply. My 8.1 computer is still trying communicate with some of my old software.
    That may be a tough one but I've repaired worse.
    It all depends on the wobble...and your investment.

    Harvey,
    How about hairline cracks on the petals of the fuchs?
    Are they repairable?

    How does one "repair" such a thing, out of curiosity ? heat + press of some kind ? Does the fact they are forged influence what can / cannot be done ? Just wondering...
    Greg.
