I fabricated a 4 1/2" shrinking, disk made from 12ga sheet metal
Cut a 5" disk with a 7/8" hole
Welded an old grinder lock nut to it
Drilled the wrench holes
I got the inspiration for this from Q's door dent repair video.
Here is the butt welded 1/4 after I straighten the weld seam out
I had purchase lead free filler to fix the 1/4's butt welds, but now i don't think i will need anything more than epoxy primer and a bit of putty.
It takes some time to do (couple hours per 1/4) and time to learn to shrink / cool small areas
the process is basically bump/shrink/bump/shrink.
Thanks for the help Q
