Allied Beadlock Leak**FOUND LEAK**FIXED**

Duct tape. If it won't take a weld....Duct it<G>.

Well I think I got it! :D I drilled out the hole with a 1/16" bit and got a bunch of black powdercoating out of it. I used a dremel to wallow out the top of the hole a bit.

I tried a bead over it with t same result.

So I ground the weld off and the hole was filled with weld so I smoothed it out with the grinder some and tried another.

It seemed to work this time. Excuse my mediocre flux core welds :o
The bead seemed to flow well over the spot where the hole was, but I decided a bead on each side wouldn't hurt.

Put a couple of tacks to compensate for my welding skills :wink1:

I wasn't sure if i should or not, but I smoothed the weld out a bit with a flapper wheel then I hit it with some paint.

It didn't turn out beautiful, but I think it will be good :wink1: If not I'll just get a new wheel from Allied :D
 
Well I mounted a tire on it tonight and put it at 26 psi. I'll update this tomorrow after work :wink1:
