XKE 1969 S2 wheel spokes
I discovered about 10 broken spokes on my right hand front wheel.
I have a local motor cycle shop that claims to be capable of repairing the wheel but I need a source for replacement spokes.
he tells me that all of the existing good spokes need to be free to turn. I am not sure that any of the are not seized. They are very difficult to turn.
so I may need 72 or 360 depending on how far I have to take this.
A source in Canada would be great but most likely I am looking at the States or the UK.
Any help would be appreciated

Terry,
You can give Hendrix Wire Wheel a call. They refurbished and trued all 5 wheels on my 67 XKE. Allen is walking encyclopedia on wire wheels; I was super impressed, cleaned with new liners and proper tubes. They identified which wheels had been replaced and which were original.
