spoke sorted
Today, on Jim Tanner's advice, I fixed my spoke situation (a blown spoke hole) by doming a washer and putting a spoke nipple through the washer, then tightening it up to pull the washer into the rim. And it worked! I took it along to Dom Stevenson (fellow gyroplane pilot) of Kingdom Motorcycles in Ipswich, who very kindly got his number two, Will, to put the tyre back on it, but not before twanging it and declaring it a good repair.
