Tire ring problem solved

As you saw in a previous post the ring that goes on the tire was missing some connection pieces.
I built a piece to tie the two ends together and welded it to the rim.

 

Here is the piece I put in, it still needs a little work.

 

 

Here it is closed up. I may drill the new part so it can be pinned to keep it from shifting while it is installed.

 

To see what I needed to make I pulled the other rear to compare. Oddly enough it was totally different.

 

 



 



Here is the other side, it must be from a different year or model.
