Do it.

I need to get out and finish the set I started on the weekend tonight. As well as adjusting my brakes and bleeding them again.

So much to do, so little time.

Last night I sealed the wheels up. Tonight, put the valves in two of them, as I need to strip the other RS' to get the other two valve stems unfortunately. The lips have different sized holes for the valves making it a bit difficult.

As you can tell, these are a bit of a zero fucks given rebuild of RS' out of spare parts.

It's just sort of, get tyres on them so there are less tyres in the garage for Mum to stress about.

Oh well.

Having huge problems getting two barrels off my rs.
Out of the 10 or so sets I've split in the past, never been so stuck.

Been heating the carp out of it. Face down in a tyre standing and hammering. Face up on a stack of phone books, while my gf stands, on it beating it with a mallet and woody/hammer. Won't budge.

Any other ideas before I take it home to dad's press and push it out.

Did the dirty and wedged a few old flat heads down the gap. Not sure why so stuck as looked like oem parts that haven't been apart before

Whats the chances of someone being able to drop a centre off to whitehorse when I need lips and barrels made up? I'd probs also need everything shipped back to me/ maybe I can drive down when its ready and pick it up?

Will pay for your troubles with money/beer/sex/drugs you name it!

Wont be for a few weeks but yeah!

I think I'm going to be doing the same thing Foff! I might try send one back down with the Melb boys at GAD

That would be amazing! I might even push for before Gad. If you could fit them in with someone who's coming up for Gad that would be sweet! Last minute wheel assemble sesh maybe haha!

Cheers dude

Could slap them together before heading up, let them seal up while we drive.
Loljk, can't sort myself usually, let alone someone else's wheels.
I had tyres on the ksports like a month before dovw, still was a mad rush in the end

Haha yeah I'm not fussed whether they are on for the show or not. Would rather not rush it haha. I'm over the whole rush for car shows, if it's not ready it's not ready!

Does Whitehorse make slant lips as well?
