Hello all;
Thanks for all your response on my TR-6 chrome windshield trim
question. I replaced the trim last evening in record time using Dove
dish detergent and a rubber mallet. I cut the trim so it just touched
and installed the clip. I hope it won't shrink so much that it comes
out from under the clip. I've kept the excess new trim and the old
clip just in case.
Again, thanks for your ideas on my wire wheel questions. I'm
ashamed to say that the problem was my lack of experience with wire
wheels, and the installation of leaking tubes that I presumed were
good. It seemed that as the tubes leaked, the air pressure in the
tire would lessen and the tires and tubes would shift slightly. What
I thought was a leak at the valve stem, was actually the trapped air
between the tube and the tire escaping through the rim at the hole for
the valve stem. It seems that wire wheels are somewhat air tight and
when I jiggled the valve stem I would hear air escaping there and
asumed a valve stem leak.
Anybody going to the TRF summer party?
