Wanted valve stems
Looking for some valve stems for Model T. I have some original Schrader rim nuts and covers that I’m using. From what I have read on the forums there were other manufacturers other than Schrader that can be used in place of the 777. Anyone out there that has a set (4) that they would like to part with? Also would need bridge washers.
Thanks

Re: Wanted valve stems
Dill, Bridgeport and Firestone also made them. All you need to do is find them. Schrader is the only company that used 777 for a part number. Most all of them use the TR designation, which stands for the Tire and Rim Association.

Re: Wanted valve stems
Larry,
If I’m not mistaken the length of the stem does matter and the longest size you can use is 3” and the shortest is 2 3/4”?

Re: Wanted valve stems
Don't use anything longer than 2", unless you want to throw your wheels out of balance. Also, don't use modern ones. They are the wrong diameter.

Re: Wanted valve stems
The 777 is 3". Sorry. I like the 888 which is 2 3/4. It still works the same, and reduces the weight slightly.

Re: Wanted valve stems
Thanks Larry,
I’m just checking here I didn’t know if you got my emails or not, but I’m guessing you don’t have anything that’ll work for me?

Re: Wanted valve stems
Mike, I have a couple of 825's but they are 3 1/2 inches long while the 777's & 888's are 3 inches.

Re: Wanted valve stems
Thanks everyone who dug through their parts bins and found stuff they forgot they had. It looks like I got everything that I need now. Thanks again!
