Sent you a pm its ready when you are

Hi v8 inter nut, Your work looks really good, In one of your early photos of the chassis in primer you have a photo of a front hanger did you use a "seam sealer" in these areas?

No seam sealer just black etch primer and some high fill primer then a rub down with 600 grit and 2pak

:)those spider hubs are going to look tops with the chrome rims!

:'( :'( :'(
operation tubeless rims is a fail here is why
1st thing was i had to machine down this area (see 1st pic) which sounds bad but the rim mounts where the paint still is on the angle bit so it wont effect it and it was only a very small amount. this was all just to clear this bit (see 2nd pic)




so once that was done the rim slid on nicely


thats when i hit my next problem :'(



yep it hits on the tie rod i used 7.5 inch wide wheels like the others that i spoke to have used but it still hits!
any suggestions???

Hey mate,
Can you get a spacer made to offset the tie rod ends so they dont hit,and use the old split rims which were meant for those lugs? Maybe powdercoat them "chrome"

I really like the colour you have painted it,just glad you didn't put a dirty screemin green oil leaker in it!!

Cheer's Jim

you might be lucky enough to find a steering arm ( the arm at the bottom of the stub axel ) that is a bit shorter or with a bit more kink in it , maybe look on your parts truck ,but the arm might not be aheavy , most people ive talked to with tubless on front go for a offset in the rim which makes it look like a super single .

ole mate from forbes had a green inter @dubbo show , i saw his truck at burcher tractor pull ,i am sure it had tubeless on the front, i forget his first name but his last name was Pout, he had pouts transport in forbes , if you can track him down , he might have an answer for you

Just tried 22.5 X 8.25 on the front of the old mans D 1910 and they fitted with heaps of room. His hubs look the same as yours but are different, i will get a photo later.

thanks for the fast response there fellas. the c1500 parts truck is completly different so that wont work as are the d line hubs. i bought a truck of pout at forbes and gave him a ring his rims fitted very close fit so mine might be slightly different. i will have a look at taking a few mm off the lip of the rim and see how that goes
