Materials
12 inch piece of 1/2x 1/2 inch tubing
8 inch eye bolt
piece of plate steel that was cut to fit the rim




took the tubing and welded it to the bottom of my rack (underside)
I PUT IT THROUGH THE EYE BOLT FIRST

then put my tire on and took the eye bolt through the rim
put the plate steel on and tightened it down, Because of the bottom frame I can really ream down on the nut and tighten it to the tire


Got the idea from one of the build up threads on here !!
