Good advice. Is there a repair kit available that you know of?

 

Some of the K series carbs can have a bushing put in at the top. I have not seen a Magnum with this capability though.

Could'nt help myself and cleaned, sanded, primed the first of the four rims.. Reminded me of how much I despise sanding. Three more to go 

 

 

Cheated a bit.. but figured it'll be fine.

 

When everything goes well these will be mounted in the upcoming week.

Well, famous last words in the previous post..anyhow.. I did finally manage to get the tires mounted with not even that many rage inducing moments 

The mounting in itself was alright but unfortunately I did damage the rims a tiny bit.

I can't understand why there's no cheap tool yet to easily mount small tires like this without damaging the rim. I looked at a bunch of YT tutorials but 99% seem to just ram a tire iron in there and call it good. **rant mode off** 

 

I'm hoping for a bit higher temps going into the wekend so I can do a bit of touch-up and get the wheels mounted.

 

I like the white a lot more than I though I would.

 

Hard to keep clean probably but that's OK.

That wheel/tire set looks just great!

 I patronize a local shop that has a small wheel adapter for their tire-mounting machine for the front tires--the 12 inch rears don’t need it.  They usually charge me $10 per tire (and sometimes they just waive the charge). Yes, the machine leaves marks on the painted rims (sigh) but I’ve gotten good at touching them up. And, no stress for me.
