More work on mounting the tubes and tires.
These are pretty nice. Have no idea why people feel the need to spend big bucks on the premium option available.
Have to pull them apart and split the rims.
Took several photos as I deconstructed them to ensure I get them back together properly.
These are made different than what came with my RV-7. The axle is also provided and not integral to the gear leg.
Way back when I built my RV-7 for some weird reason I stuck this sticker that came with the tires on one of my water spigot pipes.
I decided to stick one from the RV-12 on the other pipe! LOL
Here we are all back together.
I really like how the valve stem is routed on these wheels. Much better than the RV-7 was. To get it in place the center hub must be removed to make room.
Also be aware that the way these things are put together, the bolts produce some really fine slivers of metal shavings. Watch out for those and vacuum them up as they may result in a flat later!
Tire and wheels ready to go!
Next they have you enlarge the holes for the upper engine mount extension. This is done in two steps. Be careful with the drill motor, if the bit catches, it will jerk and try to spin around!
Mine aligned perfectly without any fuss! Did have to remove a bit of sealant to keep the surface flush.
Use this trick to get to the nut for torqueing!
