I agree an o ring groove machined int the nut would be better. I did find a copper sealing crush washer that would work at McMaster Carr. But I like the o ring idea better.
BUT...... unless I can find 4 of the wheel CTIS valves I’m dead in the water.
4 broken bolts and the diaphragm seat so...
Helper air bags on the rear springs to control ride height when fully loaded. Individually controlled so at the camp site I’ll be able to lower pressure in one raise the other one or raise both of them or lower both of them....all in an effort to help level it out.
Thanks middleman,
So after looking more closely at my wheels and trying to find a solution to the acorn nut problem.
Here is what I’ve found. The ID of this hole is 1.580”, the stud is 1 1/8”-16 and if you look closely you can see a shiny circle outlining the hole measuring 2.00” makes me think...
Relocated the exhaust further back to make room for the generator.

It’s permanent.
I was testing the motorcycle hoist. It will ride in this position after I fabricate a mount for it.
There is a hatch in the back porch roof above the motorcycle. You can see the steps in front of the motorcycle. The porch roof will also be a seating/ standing platform.
I think I have the same wheels but I’ve been reluctant to put them on because I haven’t found the lug nuts for them and that are studs are too short.
BUT looking closely at the himar pictures online they lug nuts don’t appear to have any of the studs threads sticking out.
I’ve been on here for a long time been busy building mine and haven’t taken the time to post my progress. I’ll try post progress photos on my soon. But here is a a quick look.
