banjo wheel
Hello to everybody, wondering if there is any way to fix a crack along the key way in the center of a banjo wheel, and will this crack affect anything. As always Thanks for your help.

Re: banjo wheel
I think you better turn that into a "wall-hanger" and look for another wheel. Thoes wheel hubs are some kind of cast metal.

Re: banjo wheel
Not a good idea to use this wheel. Eventually it will crack all the way through at the most inopportune time.

Re: banjo wheel
I agree with the others. Get a new wheel and put that one on the wall.
