Murray, by the looks of it you have run over the surface with a grinder or a disc sander.
The strongest part of a metal thickness is its surface, take that away and original strength is compromised, by how much I don't know.
When push comes to shove, I don't think you still have an approved rim.
Maybe someone with some technical expertise can add to this because the way they're cast/treated, has an affect on the grain/crystalline through the thickness.

I wouldn't know of many people who wouldn't sand up there rims before painting them, if not how do you propose to cost effectively crack test/inspect a painted rim with many layers of paint?

With X-Ray. People do it already with motor components, but when was the last time a rod flew out of an engine into the crowd and killed someone?

Cost Effective? and how often?
I would have thought engine components were x-rayed to save $$ on a full motor rebuild because of one failed part rather than the risk of parts flying into the crowd?

How much is a life worth? And once per season, and every time it gets a good hit.

In life we are constantly making decisions, all with an element of risk involved, many with an associated cost.
Can we afford to purchase the safest car to transport our loved ones?
Whatttttt, you bought a lower cost inferior car!!! Are you totally nuts and irresponsible.
(In my earlier days it was a Volvo that only the wealthy could afford!)
Don't you value your family?
Paula Bennett is travelling NZ at the moment in an effort to stem and reduce the expediential growth in the 'rules and risks' PC industry,
much of which is irrational and unreasonable, forcing costs and inconvenience onto society way beyond any 'cost / benefit'!
Local Government Minister Paula Bennett announced plans this morning for a Rules Reduction Taskforce, which will try to cut unnecessary bureaucracy and scrap "loopy" local and central government regulations.
"We've seen rules and regulations brought in over decades that were well-intentioned but end up being confusing, onerous and costly while failing to deliver any real benefit for the property owner or the wider public," says Mrs Bennett.

How much is a life worth? And once per season, and every time it gets a good hit. Really? You have to fall back on that tired argument? It gets trotted out so many times over so many different topics that I automatically just ignore it now - how many others feel the same way? I know youre a smart guy Brettgrace, but come on. Ive yet to talk to, see or even hear of someone xraying engine components for competitor safety - its always engine safety. Ive also yet to talk to, see or hear of someone within speedway xraying thier engine components at all, usual practice is to pull it down and manually inspect... There must be a reason for that, the only people Ive heard of did it for a high power circuit racing engine. |

I think you just maybe out of touch with the modern day technology some poor into there engines regarding speedway .x raying engine components has been around a few years now ,just like welds for cracks .. similar too balancing engine parts ..

If he can get a certified engineer to stamp his wheels then that should be it in my opinion. Of course, a stamp only means they were free from defect at time of stamp. |
