Hobbsy89 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Can any one give any help on sealing a set of rolled edge Mach 5 beadlockers? What silicone are people using? High tensile bolts or any tricks? Any thing will be helpful sick of bolting them up and unbolting them! Just won't seem to seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Inner tubes? From the picture, I presume this is the later type, with the captive nut plates inside the rim isn't it? I have no experience with these, but I have always wondered how you seal the bolts. Also, Normally, if you have a split rim, there is some sort of o-ring to seal it, but on mach 5s, there is no such thing. So another reason again, I cannot see how you can get a reliable seal without an inner tube. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel_90 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 My mach 5s have studs welded to the rim and the outer ring is held on by nuts. I just use a small amount of RTV Silicone on the mating surface and it works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm intending to make a rubber gasket for mine but I haven't taken them apart to see how viable that is yet. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
