Or, another way to do it, (which is what I do)....Use a giant rubber o-ring, grease it up with sythetic grease and put it in the center of the 2 wheel halves. When you tighten the wheel bolts, the o-ring is pushed outwards to the correct sealing place. And the o-rings are re-usable, as long as they are kept greased. The grease also acts as a sealing agent to keep the air inside the wheel/tire. Bill Schmidt 88 Red Devil Kawi

You can run a small bead then smear it smooth with a finger. Let it cure before mounting tires, and you should be good to go.

Where do you buy tubes that fit the F500 tires? Are you using tubes? If not, How do you seal the two piece rims so there is no leaks? ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! *** ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! *** ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
