[mrjim0214]

beads are broke, flush mounts in but confused on were to drill hole for new valve stem I was gonna put it in lip sorta like other side (which is much smaller than other side) but hole gonna take up whole lip, what would be the proper location???

Put it in that 2"ish wide flat landing. That's where I put mine.

I put mine on that lip and it seals fine:

ok midway, for some reason i like that better and i think easier to drill on that angle. thanks

I found after drilling several sets that it is easiest to center punch, drill a pilot hole then drill with just a little smaller bit than the final size. Then I use a round file to clean up the hole and get it round and to the right size. Seems like the drill bit never does a real nice clean round hole on the thin aluminum.

ha ha, i already have it center punched, pilot drills laying there ready to drill and i said to myself, hmmmm looks close, i think it will work fine but let me ask to be sure, things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMM:iagree:

That's where I put mine. Works great so far, have no complaints. I took my tires off my rims completely and drilled fromt the inside of the rim.

 

[mrjim0214]

that would make drilling easier, i only broke beads so i did like midway and it worked out great, tires reseated easy to, no strap needed, i couldnt get true flush mounts so i put 1" stems in backward, put loctite on valve cap and tighten with pliers

[mrjim0214]
