    Yard art inner tube tire has hole in its side?? Put a boot in it (make your own if have none) paint whatever shows black if wrong color shows....we drove on tires with holes in sides, altho sometimes had to go to reliners or tire-in-tire (hard to do without being bumpy)..

    Doesn't everyone have a few old tire boots in the basement??..

    Make your own boot.  Take some aluminum and pop rivet over the hole and paint black.  Might even start a trend.

  2. The only thing I do different is to take an old spark plug base and throw away the porcelain and put a small balloon over the base.  Screw it into the #1 spark plug hole.  Crank it over and the balloon will inflate on the compression stroke.  I find it easier to watch a balloon then feel the compression with my finger.  Follow Tinindians instructions.

  3. I would install an external strobe light connected to your fire alarm and security system, make sure you install flood lights on each coroner and a motion sensor light over the entrance door.  I would also install a small roof over the door so you do not have water running down your neck while opening the door.  Make sure you have enough service for your welder and run your air lines while you are building

     and make sure you have water taps at each corner of the building.

  4. Thank you for your suggestions.  The Moon when I got it had carriage bolts which is wrong.  You need to think real old school to understand my problem.  Back in the twenties fenders didn't always line up so they created a fender washer to allow some slop.  What you have to day is not a 1920 fender washer.  Here is a picture of an early chev. fender washer.that is a little small but will give you an idea of what I am looking for.

  5. This is probably the wrong site for what you are looking for.  The Kolar engine should be a standard engine and can be worked on by a lawn mower service who can also work on the transmission.  The bearings should be off the shelf.  I would try the following company for help.  The body is fiber glass which you can get products for from Autozone.  Looks like fun.    https://www.jscarnivalrides.com/about-us/workshops
