Default Re: Metal Stem Tire Valve question

Metal stems are actually easy to install. I'm sure there are several threads on this site explaining how they're installed. If you get tubes with vulcanized stems, you would not need bridge washers or nuts. You would install the tubes and simply use rum nut bushings and dust covers. If you are installing stems into tubes, you would need to use bridge washers and nuts to secure your stems into the tubes, then, once installed, use the rim nut bushings and dust covers.
In TomInCologne's picture above, you would not use the second bridge nut he has installed on the stem.
You can see several sets of original stems on my current ad in the Model A ad section.
