Borrani Wire Wheel Valve Spacers

Will a tube w/ a stem that becomes wider at the bottom work?
Also are you talking about just reducing the stems hole w/ a spacer or giving it a finished look by also filling in the recessed groove around hole?

 

Do your tubes have the threaded metal valve stems? If so, the guy next door machined some aluminum nuts that fit in the wheel recess nicely. The inside nut is round/knurled, the outside nut is stepped round (to fit the recesses) with a smaller raised hex for tightening w/wrench. IIRC they were $30 for a set of 5 pairs or $6/wheel.

 

Hi Michael,

Try http://www.hendrixwirewheel.com/stuff.html

thay have plastic spacers that work well and ar cheap. They're a must-use item to keep the valve stem centered on the hole:

See http://www.myerstiresupply.com/PDF/myers_section_pdf/Valves%20&%20Valve%20Accesories.PDF Page 5 for the plastic bushings which go in the early .625" hole to bring it down to late .453" hole.

 

BTW ; The stem nuts I spoke of, do center the stem in the hole, if that was not clear.
