DIY Tyre Truer

Post by SlotBaker »

How about this for a portable DIY tire truer?

Young Ric has used this for many years at Liverpool Checkered Flag, before closing down.

Was designed and built by Don, who was local racer and handyman.

Kingy,

It might have just a bit to do with the motor being 3 times the size as well. I like the small one you posted, its portable and would be very useful at a track if you needed to touch up some tires.
