Bob,

Thanks for sharing your experience, most interesting so I split it off the Hammond thread to its own thread.

Fantastique Bob. You have solved a long standing problem for all of us !

Once caution I woudl add is that if you end up nicking or cutting the bead, the tire can self destruct during inflation or operation.

I was recently repairing tires on a limber and gun which had previously been done by the local tire company without skiving. On filling, it appeared that one tire would not seat it's bead. After tear down, the cut in the bead was obvious and I had to scrap what otherwise was a 98% tread non-directional tire.

Personally I will continue to skive the tires slightly. I used to force the tires onto the rims using the Coats 5000 tire machine. Works great until you need to get the tire off for a flat.

Not a bad idea of doing a seperate thread as it maybe easier to find in a search.

On the Stovebolt engine forum they take the best tips, techniques,etc and have them reviewed by a team of moderator and if approved the "content' is copied/entered in a "tech tip' Section or a "how to" section which stands by its own. Might be a worth while consideration for MLU.

Thanks for all your help.

Bob,

That's basically what we are doing by moving threads into the Restoration Forum.

But, I would welcome "content" moderators - who wants to volunteer?

And oh, I could do with a few extra regular moderators as well. These two tasks could be combined perfectly.

Thanks,
Hanno

That looks great Bob and a nice simple idea. Again it shows with a little combined effort and idea the most difficult job becomes not so hard at all.
Fantastic, I will remember this system should I ever come across this job.

I agree with you Hanno the Restoration forum does do that.

Now for the "moderators"...... what does it entail......

How much technical skill is needed??

......since I am on the forum site almost daily...sometimes more .....I wonder if I could help out.

Cheers
