Charles,
The tyres will bo 7.25 inches across the flanges so I was planning on 0.007
inches of interference.
Good point about alignment - I intend to lay the tyre on two horizontal bars
about 4" apart, heat up the tyre then lower the wheel set ( the wheels are
already on the axles) into the tyre. Both wheel and tyre should rest on the
horizontal bars.
