I found this picture in a restoration book. I would like to add this ring of over OVER my steel wheel cleats. I like the look of the cleats and do not want to remove them from my steel wheels. I would install this on my McCormick-Deering 10-20.
From the picture, it looks like they have bolted a steel bracket to the wheel in the gap between each cleat and bolted the rubber to this bracket.
The rubber rim looks too uniform to just be rubber. Is the rubber bolted to another piece of steel that circles the wheel? Where would you get this flat type of rubber without tread? Would a retread shop sell you strips of rubber?
I have a welder that can fabricate almost anything that I need but I need to find all of the pieces for him.
Any info or ideas would be great.
Thanks, Dave
