Vintage speed tire question

[ted johnson]

I remember in '58 when I had my first dead axle Bug. I managed to pinch a tube in one of the steel wheels. Pop told me to always inflate the tube a little bit to help keep it from getting pinched, and if I needed to use two longer bolts to get the assembly started together, I could remove them after the next two were tightened. Of course that doesn't work with Azusa or Go power wheels with only three bolts holding them together! Talcum powder, Brad! Besides, it helps keep your kart smelling baby fresh!  TJ
