On the 2 sets we made,we used 1/2" thick.Then we put 4 3"by3" tabs with a hole,welded them to the ring where they could be bolted to the cleat.The bolt ran under the point of the cleat with a 3"by3" washer on the opposite side of the welded tab.
As far as the rubber goes,we used old belting from a round baler,cut to width,the we used contact cement on the rim and rubber.Also put in a few well placed stove bolts(small ones) to help hold the rubber.st what we did,hope it helps.I may have a pic or to if ya email me.

I would have preferred the 1/2 inch rim but I did not have the capability of bending metal that thick. With the 1/2 inch it would be good for the tabs and bolts that you mention. I am not certain about the thinner metal. It may be that I will have to put spacers and bolts between the ring and rim at mid way between the spikes due the thickness of the metal.

Dont know yet.

Re: Rubber and some details in reply to moseed, 08-23-2006 06:15:55

Yes, I intend to attach rubber to the rings.

The rings are 4.5 inches wide and 1/4 thick. They turned out 4.5 inches because that was the width of the scrap on the floor at the fabricator.

I took the cleats down to my friends sheet metal fabricating business and told him to make me some rims to fit them. 1/4 inch was the thickest he could roll on the machine that makes this metal curve. He made two halves which I intend to fit snug, cut to length and weld together to make ring. The c clamps were to get it snug before cutting to length. I have not decided on how to attach the ring to the wheel yet...still thinking about that.

I'd think those C-clamps would make for a kinda bumpy ride on a hard surface.....altho they might give decent traction in loose dirt....:)

Seriously though, it's looking good! I take it you're planning on covering the rings with rubber somehow?
