Thread: Rubber valve stem, deep six?

  1. #1

    Rubber valve stem, deep six?

    I ordered some valve stems from Porsche for my Weidman restored deep six rims. They do not look correct to me. Could someone please post a picture of the correct valve stem, preferably sepparated from the rim?

    Thanks

    Thanks Brian, I should have done a better search The stems I got from Porsche have the partnumber TR-413. In Andy's post he says TR-415 are the correct type. I guess I will have to buy some new ones.

    John,
    Not all 415s are the same. Some of the new replacement ones are less bulgy and won't stay in a unmodified valve stem hole. We seem to have more trouble finding the better fitting ones in the US. That is why we put a step in the valve stem hole. So the stems have a way to snap in.

    Harvey, will the less bulgy ones stay in the rims you did for me(John Landsverk, Norway)?

    BTW, thank you for the beautiful work you did on my rims!

    Guys,
    I have a set of 4 new correct wide bulge valves leftover from a set of deep 6's I had on my 67 911.
    I had these exact same valves on my deep 6's fpr almost 4 years and never had a flat or leakage problem.
    The car and wheels are long gone but the valves are in a bag on my shelf (I never throw anything away). Does $4 per valve seem pricey?
    Anyone who still needs a set and is interested can pm me. They are in Munich so be prepared to pay $7 for shipping to the USA, a few dollars less in central Europe.

    Garth, if Mike back's off I need those as well.....

    Found some at Wurth in Norway, but have to call them tomorrow to see if they are the bulgy type TR-415.

    John,
    Your wheels are modified and the new style stems will work.

    ......Dealers have not been the best source for info on our cars.
    We have found that the Porsche dealers contact the importer with questions who then contact PCA who then call us for info on wheel fittment.....


    We buy the stems at our local NAPA (auto parts) store. Part number 90-415
    So far they are still the bulgy type.
