ive had this spare for a while, just come to fit it instead of buying two new ones as im short of cash . . . was flat, put it on, went down over night.
took it in and they say that the tyre cannot be repaired as the puncture is on the inside rim. this means it will get too hot for it to...

can this be done?

can i just drill through it, making a new hole and just use a very secure bolt with locking nuts at either end?

is there any way i can get round this? obv they cannot go on as they are as there is a 1-2mm gap between the spacer and the...

not the best looking ever, but still and option, and could always fit the prospeed in it instead.
