Need help!!.... Wheel air valve adapter

Postby 2jz tt Aristo » Sun May 20, 2012 5:37 pm

Hey, my wheels dont have the air valve that sticks out (the male part) so i cant pump up my tyres atm.

I got the car like this and have been trying to source (through Work Wheels nz) some for a couple months but have just been told by them that they cant get them!

So i was wondering does anyone know what i can do?

Cheers

Heres some pics of what i mean:-

This is the screw type cap that is on them atm:-

Is the hole threaded at all? Does pushing the part you can see release air?

You can buy valve extenders for bikes with deep dish rims in multiple lengths.
Head to your local bike store perhaps.

Trade only.

But I know Road & Track in Lower Hutt can buy stuff off them.

This the same sort of deal?

~$30nz delivered.

Couldn't find the extension on it's own, and don't know if it's exactly what's needed.
