Correct Tire Valves

Why doesn't any company have the correct tire valves for Model T's and other light cars? Anyone with knowledge of our cars knows the correct valve stem was a Schrader777 or Dill or Bridgeport equal. Many years ago I was in contact with knowledgeable folks in the Model A club, and they told me Schrader wasn't interested in re-introducing the correct valve stems. They were able to set up the tooling and had them reproduced. Why can't that happen for our cars? They may have had the 888's made which I believe maybe correct for the 26-7 wire wheels. I personally like the 888's for all of my cars with 30X3 1/2 wheels, because they are 1/4" shorter and reduce the weight slightly. Certainly Coker may be able to do this?

Sounds like a business opportunity for you Larry. It needs someone with a passion to drive it.
