I think they would just drill them out from the inside Darren, probably some kind of right angled drill.Hovis wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 8:54 pmThat's interesting wal. I've never seen a 7950 in the flesh and I've always wondered how they drill the spoke holes if both the inner and outer flanges were of the same dimensions. How is it done if you wanted to leave the outer rim intact.Wallys-Cast wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 8:18 pm Looking at Bob Singletons book the reel looks like a 1914-1925 Model 7950 T2 4"dia narrow drum. I have never seen the drum rim drilled before, obviously to help locate and adjust the spokes but not really needed so a strange feature.
Not sure if it's the photo or not but the handles look like replacements in grey plastic.
