flat tire repairs

Hi Oldduke,
I think I have been playing with cars longer than you have and agree that is a good way to repair a flat tubeless tire.
My first car back in '53 or '54 was a '36 Ford rag top and I mean that literally. With almost no money, anything that needed to be fixed or flats repaired was done by me. Tires all had tubes in them and had to be partially removed from the rim to be repaired. Then along came tubeless tires which we all thought would come off the rim in a hard turn. The first ones were bias ply but I think we repaired them the same way as radials with the sticky string plugs.
Don't think I can match your count, but I bet I have repaired at least 40 tires and still at it if the need arises.
Old guys rule! Tom
