The wheels I have are wire spoked from a '77D, all stripped down waiting on rebuild, but before I do that I want to do some welding where the rim tape was to fill in some pitting, which gets fairly deep in parts, to restore the surface and overall balance of the wheel.
I'm not repairing cracks or structural damage per se, just refinishing the pitted surface. The problem is I'm unsure what grade of filler rod to use on these wheels or exactly what grade the wheels are made of. I assume they were made straight, bent into ring and welded closed and finished by the factory... so what should I use for filler?
