ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 34
3 This image shows the difference
between a roughened groove, on
the right, and a smooth, unsanded
groove, on the left.
4
Wipe the two grooves with a
paper towel to remove any sanding
residue or other dirt.
5 Now remove the foam insert,
and lightly sandpaper the inside
edges of the tyre.
6 Clean the residue from the
roughened edges of the tyre with
a piece of paper towel. Clean
surfaces are essential for good
adhesion when you glue the tyre
to the wheel.
7 Refit the foam insert, making
sure that the tyre is the right way
around, then push the wheel into
the tyre. When the tyre is fully in
place, make four pencil marks
on the circumference at 90° to
each other, on both sides of the
wheel. At each point that you
have marked, lift up the tyre lip,
carefully put a small drop of
superglue into the groove, and
push the tyre lip back into place.
8 Press the tyre against the
wheel to obtain a firm, even join.
The photo shows how the wheel
and tyre should now look.
