I,m putting radial tubless tires on. thanks doug | | | | | Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 12 | thanx 3b appreciate any help. I,m trying to keep it as original as possible. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 305 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 305 | I do have the clips for the hub caps. 6 clips are on the '54 and older and three clips on '55 and newer. 3B would have the proper ones also, if he has any. Knowing Bobb, he probably has piles of them. Any 16's Bobb?
I don't believe you can go tubeless, I know I couldn't so all my 15 are radial with tubes. Is the 16 straight? I just brought 4 back from Creston and only one was true enough to use. Got them free so wasn't a killer.
I'm willing to trade rims, if the 16 is true.
