"WCCC TV" Needs Sugestions On How To Install 1969-70 SS Wheel Window Inserts
I want to do a little "How To" video on installing these stainless inserts into the 69-70 Styled Steel Wheels we sell. The new owners of Specialty Wheel (Coker Tire) will not install them, their reason being? It's too hard... Waaa, somebody call the waaambulance! Since it is too hard for the manufacturer to install them, they think the consumer should do it... I have used a block of wood and hammer to bend the tabs over from the backside, finished with crimping with channel lock pliers and a protective cloth. Anyone have some other good techniques? The factory used a rubber gasket to prevent rattling, scratching of the paint, anyone have a go-around since the repros do not have the gaskets?
