For material, people are using new suitable sized car drums as a scource and produce a liner to fit from correct grade for this purpose.

I'll drop him a message, thank you.

Sadly I don't have any alternatives and was getting new wheels built to hopefully avoid any issues. You never seem to know whats lurking underneath these days given that everything could be 40 years old, so I don't wish to throw good money at another unknown on the hopes that... I'd spend some money getting it done right now rather than pay the consequences later, particularly given its one of my only two points of contact. :-\

I still have one of the three i had done somewhere, cont remember if its wheel or just hub, you might be able to convince me to loan it out if its the right one and as long as i get one back with good drum dont care if its yours or mine

You have my attention, I'd bite your arm off if you'd be happy to loan me a rebuilt one to finish my wheels! Obviously on the basis that I have my rear hub rebuilt and returned to you in exchange, happy to add a little sweetener in there too. Let me know what you've got.
Sadly time is working against me...

Trigger on the forum, colin Jackson, huddersfield I think? I did my own, as a hub I did mine with bearings in situ, but rim and spokes off. Then rebuilt using original spokes and rim. I have since bought a big lathe that could in theory take the whole wheel including the tyre. Car brake drums do indeed provide a good fresh liner. I used a gas torch to warm the hub, in the lathe, and used the tailstock of the lathe to press in the machines and frozen new liner in. Wasn't a quick job but a decent result. Was about as much as my poor little warco lathe could manage.

I will have to go to my lockup and see what is what

I have bought from the second one and he is open to deals but I would ask politely if there are any signs of cracking as they are known to prone to it
