rust in spare wheel
Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 10:06 pm
was fitting a full size spare wheel today, and i thought which ever side i put upwards ,water will still get trapped in the gulleys in the wheel,
so i drilled four 1/8" holes in the gulley ,roughly equal distance apart , around the gulley ,this is not enough to effect the strength of the wheel ,but allows the water to drain, therefore lessoning the chances of rust .
i also fitted it so that the tyre valve is nearest to the rear of the bongo, and facing down , this allows me to check its pressure ,when i do the other wheels
small points but may help ????
