Metal Stem Tire Valve question

[duke36]

Just to clarify, I believe Mr. Karr in post 6 is referring to vulcanized metal stems already installed in vendors' tubes, not vulcanized rubber stems with dust covers ?

coming back to this, if i may...


i was at my tireman this morning and this is what i found:


- i had the thin rimliners available but we did not put them into the rims because they were all (except one) very smooth on the inside


- one inside was corroded, that's being cleaned and coated with anti-corrosion and will spend the rest of its life as a spare wheel


- the hole in the rim is quite a lot bigger than the outside of the metal valve. is one of those rim washers/dust covers A-1500C (Snyders number) supposed to go in there?


Thanks in advance...
