Stainless steel welding - Portsmouth

[Playtime]

The spokes on my Jefa wheel are loose and need re-welding. The original welding was done on the inside of the boss and covered with a black plastic washer so it looked neat and tidy on the outside. I suspect the repair will need to be done on the outside.

Can anyone recommend a skilled welder who could undertake this (simple?) job.

Thanks

The spokes on my vetus wheel are threaded and then screwed into the boss so no welding. Yours may have just have unscrewed.

'Fraid not - they are definitely welded on the inside of the boss.

There's an SS business at Emsworth marina ... they make stanchions, deck fittings, anything ... should be OK.

To complete the story I have now had one of the wheels re-welded by Bob at RS Welding (Wicormarine). I chose him because he was the closest to home. He re-tacked the broken tack welds on the inside of the boss, leaving room to replace the black 'plastic' coverings each side, and completely welded around each spoke on the outside. He did a neat and tidy job that looks strong and should last. I would have no hesitation recommending him for other SS welding work.
Thanks Neil S and David H for recommending him and for all the other recommendations above.
