Default I'll have to add your new tool to my tool page

Hi Guys

Well that tool sure looks like it fits the bill given the hole size on the rims is the same I agree that it should work with either 16 or 20 inch rims. Looks like if you turn the crosses around so the bead blocks face out you then use the rig to pull the two wheel half's together.

Get out your steel marking stamps and punch a part number on along with CMP Tire Mounting Clamp or some other suitable descriptor. Just for the hell of it date it 1942 and if you can put the broad arrow on it just to screw somebodies head in 20 years.

I had used a pair of large C-clamps but I must admit to having bent one of them in the process, to much force.

Your tool also looks like it will help save the studs and nuts from being overloaded.

How about a picture of it in uses the next tire you mount. Now I see the added picture with it in use, great.

Cheers Phil
