A split rim is exactly that -a rim that is split in two pieces and bolts together. Super dangerous. The Navy calls the deuce style rims a Demountable Flange type, but I've heard them called split ring or locking ring. Super easy to work on. I taught kids in my boy scout troop how to do them.
Parkhouse used to work on deuce rims. They aren't split rims BTW. Worst case is if you can't find anyone and can make it to camp, I can do it for you. Just LMK before Tuesday so I can load my tire tools.
Does anyone need any super rope (rubber cord) ? I have 150 feet on hand and can get it for 34 cents a foot. If anyone needs to redo their tops while we are at Dirtbag, LMK and I'll hook you up until I run out.
Also, anyone have a source for decent 11.00 x 20 NDTs?
Just got word that my SIL (a new minted Navy Chief - frocked, not even getting paid yet) is flying out to join us. He attended once or twice with us at the old location.
I've been in touch with most of my old crew and they all are in to come on out. I'm planning on arriving the 14th and staying until the 19th. The guys from the gun shop can only do 18-19. Should be nice to get the band back together,
