Crome stylee tyre valves

[targarama]

I need some new rear tyres. Can I get the original chrome style valves from decent tyre fitters or do I need to order them from my TVR dealer and give them to the tyre fitters?

(I don't mean the valve caps, I mean the valve itself - the bit that sticks out of the wheels).

Thanks.

Chrome stem valves are plentiful on ebay.

There ends the most simple thread in history. Until I spoilt it with this.

Thanks - but those on Ebay don't look quite the same.

I'll ask a dealer.

I bought some TVR logo'd valve caps for mine, are they the same thing?

edited to say, oh no, you're talking about the stems!

Richbrook do both - the valves and the locking TVR caps.
Speak to them as you need to ensure the metal is compatible - that's what they told me.

I put some metal TVR caps on mine. After a couple of VMAX high speed runs the weight of the cap bends the valve outwards so the cap touches and marks the rim! Also the valves are now damaged. If I bend the valve I hear air escaping New valves for me!

Please note: If doing high speeds, remove metal heavy dust caps from your tyre valves or the tyre could go down at dangerously high speeds!!
