cobraman Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Hey guys. I just started work on the MPC Honda 70 trail bike. This kit comes with 2 piece tires and was just wondering what type of adhesive is best for this. Thanks.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) I used to use the magic adhesive that came in CV-joint boot kits. The replacement boots were split along one side so you could install them without taking the axles out, and the glue for the seams just happened to work on vinyl tires too....and the boot kits always came with way more than you needed. Haven't seen that style boot-kit in years though, and I have no idea what the stuff was chemically. You might try this... Here's the tech data sheet... http://www.loctiteproducts.com/tds/CNTCT_VNYLPL_tds.pdf Edited October 17, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy

von Zipper Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 This it what I've come up with so far for the two piece tires on the Trail 70 kit , Stripped the chrome because the 1:1 wheels are an aluminum shade not chrome , then glued the two wheel halves together . Slide a tire half on over the bead and make sure it's seated all the way around then slide the second side of the tire on . Made sure the knobby pattern lined up . The pressure of each half presses against each other to seal the gap ..........no glue yet if at all ?
cobraman Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks guys. I will try the no glue first and see if that works. Several pieces of chrome in the kit need to be redone or perhaps just dull coated buy the looks of the one in my garage.
