[mattlake]

yeah ill be there, how come you're not Jib? got a date?

[disco-tom]

Aye, I'll be there. Forgot to start the thread myself.

[Daniel H]

I'll probably be along. Dunno what in though, depends on how much I change the 13 as to whether I'll be in it or the BM.

The new car should be here before the end of the year though :D, so it may be one of the last meets in my 13 if I do come in it.

[disco-tom]

I might have those tyres ready for you in the afternoon as well, Dan.

[Daniel H]

That would be great if you had Tom, I was going to have to use them shitty chrome ones, like my spare soon :hurl:

[disco-tom]

First SXOC meet I've been to where there were no S bodies whatsoever... Not even mine. :wack:

[Daniel H]

This is the place I was saying about where I got my bent valves from Tom

[disco-tom]

Ahh, thanks Dan. I think they'll be the right size hole on my rims. Don't know if they look like they'll stick out long enough for me to get the air line on them, though.

[Daniel H]

I'll measure one up later and post my findings.

[disco-tom]

For reference, this is one of the valves I have at the moment and I can't really get a good fit with the air line on them now as they're a tad short.

Ive got the same problem with my wheels!!! if you find the fix please tell me asap!!!

[Daniel H]

The ones I got, as linked above, are only 25mm from the centre of the hole to the tip, so may be a bit short :(

This is the other place I found, and they offer different lengths
http://www.prestigewheel.com/Image2994.asp

From what I could make out though was when you ordered from them, they would ring you back and take payment details. I don't know if they would do this internationally though. And there was a $50 minimum order.

We could do with somebody in America to get some and send over. I reckon there would be quite a few people who would buy some to make up the minimum order cost :nod:

[disco-tom]

Yeah, they're way too short. Mine are 55mm from the centre of the hole to the tip. I'm assuming that the sizes listed in that prestigewheel link are in inches? But if so, it's some sort of quasi decimal/imperial size as they list to lengths of valve in your link of either 2.8 or 3.3 and I r confused... :confused:

If the 2.8 is 2 and 13/16ths of an inch then that would be a good size and I should have no problem getting the air line on them.

[Daniel H]

I presume it's in inches being as it's American.

[200sxs13]

u can get metal valve extenders, we sell them in work and i got a few spare in a pot in my fitting bay

[200sxs13]

such as these

sp you could buy the 90degree metal valves then put them on the end

[disco-tom]

Ahh, that's a good shout. I had forgot they were already mentioned to me. Place here does them pretty cheap.

Even cheaper for rubber ones at Halfords.

I'll need some replacement rubbers if I keep the valves I have though, as all 4 look pretty perished atm.
