My Atlas flappers arrived during the week so I got them fitted up by the local tyre place who gave them back to me with a half inch gap in some spots on all of them and also threw away my vintage style knurled steel valve caps and put plastic ones on!When I got home I read the instructions,let the tyres down to 18 PSI then gently tapped them around with a rubber mallet and a cloth and got them almost perfect.I then took the car for a drive and when I got home I noticed that most of them are almost back to a quarter inch gap.Is there any way of keeping them tight against the tyre or is this a fairly normal scenario?They look great from a distance.All cleaned up and ready for GM day tomorrow.Cheers,Jamie.

Hi Mate

jack one corner up at a time take the valve out use the palm of your hand to smack it into the rim it goes in easy.

Use AJAX spray and white to get them ultru clean.
Mine have the slightest tinge of yellow on the edge at the moment must be the material?


Looks ultra clean you should be proud..

 Hey Jamie really depends if the tyre shop used any soap or grease when fitting, as this will cause them to slip out under pressure, they must be fitted dry. Also standard FE-EK rims as you know dont have a safety bead this makes them easy to fit yourself. With my HT HG rims i did pretty much like you using a mallet, and by hand like Pete said, the more you get them to fit under the edge of the rim the tighter they sit against the tyre wall. They are'nt called flappers for nothing though they can almost be impossible to get right Grin.

Jamie

Your finished product looks fantastic.

Hope you sort through the issues with the flappers as they make the car look pretty sharp.

All the best

Thanks all for the comments.I did try Pete's method by taking the valve out,letting them right down then tapping them into place with the palm of my hand and got them all nice again but I think Scott has the answer.I told the tyre place not to use soap when fitting them (I also left the instructions with them) and they didn't use any extra soap but they didn't clean off the stuff that was already on them so I reckon that's why they keep slipping.Anyway,they still look good and I didn't hear any bad comments on the day,they look good while driving.Here's a couple more from the day....
