[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1447205, member: 15940"] So next I chose to get my wheels done/narrowed to 1 1/4" since my tires will be done soon... [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-38.jpg[/IMG] I remember the days when it was common to narrow our wheels for the 2.2's and also watched a video by supershafty to re freshen my brain on it. Started by cutting the inner bead off and then the desired amount for the correct width. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-39.jpg[/IMG] The big difference (I have not searched to see if anybody else had tried this but it made sense to me) I did was I made 2 cuts per wheel. The cut for the width was only made deep enough to get thru the wheel but not into the spokes and the other thru the wheel and spokes. This lets me butt the spokes against the soon to be glued wheel. I have seen a few wheel failures and wanted to do what I could to keep that from happening. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-40.jpg[/IMG] As you can see the inner bead portion fits nicely. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-41.jpg[/IMG] Then it was time to glue. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-42.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-43.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-44.jpg[/IMG] So the wheels are done and hardening (with rotation to keep it from dripping).
