I would not even entertain welding that as the crack is pretty much underway and looks like the rest would soon start to crack in other areas.
Plenty of places on the web that will make you brand new ones, but not many will do the rolled edges like the factory comps of the 80s, but hardly noticable imo.
May be worth getting 2 made as the machine will be set up for the first one anyway so makes sense.
Thanks, would you recommend anyone? Couldn’t see any on eBayEbay also has plenty of used inner and outer barrels, just put in compomotive and measure yours to see if you can find the same size

It’s a long shot, would anyone have a spare inner rim for a compotive split rim alloy? As one of mine has cracked, or recommend someone who could repair/weld it?

sorry for the delay in adding the pics,,, as for the colour,, I am more than likely to go back to White,, as that's the colour it left the factory, and the red interior will go with it ;-),,,,, tho the other idea is an homage to the Essex,, by putting a chrome stripe in the gap of the two red stipes,,, not as bold as an Essex,, but an option

the guy who refurbished my wheels, makes the caps,, he supplies SJ's

£400 all in
still unsure on the colour,,, everytime I see a pic of Hopos bronze esprit I drool,,
but I cant justify a full interior retrimwhite was its original colour, and works with the red interior (was originaly brown)
keeping it blue is the easiest option, but I just cant decide,, think I will be flipping a coin lol

going to email SJ,, to see what size theirs are,
haven't put them back on that esprit yet, so no pics at the mo
these have them in all sizes
