Then use a couple of big C-clamps to squeeze the pieces together while you drill holes for the bolts. There will be enough rubber in one tire for several attempts if the first one isn't satisfactory. Vulcanizing everything together is nice, but it isn't totally necessary. I'd also suggest using a couple of small bolts and nuts to hold everything together while you install the mount, and remove them later if they cause unwanted vibrations Good luck! Jerry
