See attached pics of my tiller. Considering tackling this, concerned about the HUGE gaps where the plastic has separated from the hub. It's separated a solid 1/2" or more from the metal. Were yours this bad when you started? It seems like most of the "before" pics I've seen were not as bad as mine...but maybe I'm wrong and this is no big deal.

I guess I'm wondering if the concept for this one would basically to pack the epoxy deep into this crack, filling it up as much as possible, and then afterwards I'd have to grind basically 100% of the original plastic from the hub clean off of the wheel forever, to get down to the new epoxy, just to get my diameter shrunk back down to where it is supposed to be.

A Grant looks better all the time LOL. But man I REALLY like the look and feel of the original...and I REALLY do not want to fork out $900+ to some resto company to remold this...my time is free.

Any thoughts or tips? Thanks.
