Just figured I would put this together. Hopefully it will help someone.
Ordered my 12 bolt H1's online with pressed centers, rock rings, and powder coated already. Be sure to chase the studs before install as I had a bit of powder coating on some and I nearly fubar'd one of the studs. Take it from me, they are impossible to find locally.
Here is the wheel/pvc combo. I propped it up on a front atv tire, so the tire I am mounting will sit on the rear bead.
Removed the front wheel half. Notice the notch in the pvc that will need to be lined up with backside of the valvestem.
Removed pvc and placed the oring on the wheel for visual purposes. The oring will need to be stretched, placed into the groove, and two halves bolted together rather quickly so I didn't have time to take a picture during that step. Make sure to grease the oring liberally before install.
Next the pvc needs installed into the tire. Put soapy water on the tire bead as well as the pvc insert. Place the insert on the tire and pull up on the bead while pressing down on the pvc insert with your foot. I found a quick stomp and yank would pop it in rather easily.
Then, just rotate the insert inside the tire. Be sure to put the correct side up that has the notch for the valvestem.
Since I have the rock rings on the wheels you need to modify the valvestem. When I ordered my rims they came with the necessary parts to modify the valvestem. The valvestem has an oring so be sure to grease it before install.
Now you can lift the tire/pvc combo up and onto the elevated back-half of the wheel.
The final steps kind of go together quickly to keep the oring from shrinking so I didn't get any photos. Grease the oring, stretch it a bit and place it into the groove on the back-half of the rim. Place the front-half of the rim on and tighten down a couple of nuts evenly. Install the rest of the nuts and torque them down. I've read online final torque should be 125 ft/lbs.
