### Reinforcement Steps <a href="#reinforcement-steps" id="reinforcement-steps"></a>

#### Preparing the wheel <a href="#preparing-the-wheel" id="preparing-the-wheel"></a>

1. Identify the pockets in the core that align with the lower ridges in the tread, this is where we will be placing the rivets

2. Drill 6 holes in the tread that line up with the pockets of the core using a #9 drill bit. These holes should be slightly off-center towards the direction of the side of the wheel that the pockets are on. Use the image below as a guide for the placement of these holes.

3. Once all 6 of your holes have been drilled, place 6 rivets in the wheel. Be sure to compress the tread while you are putting the rivets in so that they will not get caught on the field carpet.
