Ok. I asume it is rusted out around the valve stem. so you have to include the drop center rib as part of the patch. Take and cut the hole out square. Make sure you cut it out large enough to get to good material all around. Next cut a patch out of 14 ga. steel the width of your square hole and about 1 inch longer then you need. Weld your patch starting on the edge by the bead. Now weld down each side till you come to the first bend. Holding an anvil on the back side take hammer and form around the first bend. Now weld along each side as far as you have it bent in place. Then hold anvil against front side and with hammer form your next bend. continue same process untill you have it welded shut. Now you can cut the extra lenght off and weld it flush for the perfect patch or just leave the access over lap and weld around it. Next turn rimm over and weld the back side of your patch. When finished take the grinder and grind it smooth on front and back. Now turn the rim 180 degrees and drill a new 5/8 valve stem hole. I patch all rims for a local tire co. (about 50 per year) and that is the way I do it. Been doing it for about 10 years and no complaints yet.
