[AT] WD-45 Rim

[charliehill]

Fixing a stem hole is easy.  Weld a piece of  metal somewhere between 14 ga 
and 1/8th inch or so over the old hole, then fill in the hole and grind it 
smooth.  Then drill an new hole somewhere else on the rim.  A washer will do 
in a pinch. Weld a big washer over the hole then put a bolt through the 
washer and weld it in.  Then grind off the bolt off smooth on both sides.
