Al, I'm aware of the tubeless valve stems as I've got them on several Flatheads with radials. I was wondering if there is some sort of "bushing" that can be fitted in the rim valve stem hole to prevent chafing of the tube valve stem... As a "test", I had the tire store remove the tube and remount the tire (with a tubeless valve stem in the rim) to see if it would hold air... I put the tire & wheel back on the '39 yesterday and, so far, the air is holding... I'll take the car for a ride later today and see what happens...
