Tire instal part 2
Comments to follow pictures.
Pic 6 Two crosses where fabricated...... the bottom one will fit underside fo the lower half of the CMP wheel
Pic 7 the top cross is 18 3/4 in. the btoom one 14 inches. Holes are drilled to match the bolt circle of the CMP wheel pattern. Holes are best drilled at 7/8 for some looseness.
Pic 8 Notice the yellow arrow...... holes seem to line up better in this configuration. Nuts have been welded on the bottom of the smaller cross.
Pic 9 The top cross is meant to fit loosely on top of the bottom half of the CMP rim.
Pic 10 You can see the space between rim and puch blocks. Blocks were made of cut off piece 2x2 and welded.
NOTE.... if Imade another one I would reduce the space between rim and cross puch bocks to about 1/8 of an inch.
When that cross with the blocks if fulled screw in the tire bead willbe at least 2 inches or about mid way on the bottom half of the rim.
