Typically we bolted the rim center back in the rim and installed a rubber liner to cover the bolt heads to prevent damage to the tube.
Station wagon rims were always wider than regular car wheels and worked very well .
A few summers ago i dropped off a wheel and tire to be fixed for a flat tire . I returned to pick it up and was told "we dont do tubes"......then i took it to a local firestone and returned to be told we dont fix any tire we didnt sell !!!
I fixed it my self......   |
You bolted the center section back to the rim?! Wow what kind and size was the bolt?
