the C8 I am working on

[Alex van de Wetering]

Alex, you can change the valve on the tube to the type needed, by using a valve repair patch & 1100x13 tyre flaps will fit, That is what I had to do
when I changed the front tyres on my f8.
regards, Anthony.

Thanks Antony.....good suggestion. It never occurred to me to replace the valves! I did look at an angled valve extension, which would work in combination with a normal metal valve.
Can I ask where you sourced the tyre flaps? So, does a 11x3 flap work without modification in a 9.00x13 tyre?

Sorry to go off topic, Gord!

A replacement TR455 valve stem will cost you as much as the inner tube. But if it is what one must do to get tubes, then so be it.

You can cut down a 16 inch flap to length. Leave some overlap and cut the flap so it is angled leading onto the other one.

I have returned home for the holidays to visits friends and family. As Dad calls it having his secret weapon home, thus into the shop to play. After we sorted a clutch rod length we fired up the C8 for her maiden test drive.
