I managed to break a valve on one of my spare OZ's.

My local garage doesn't do the metal valves when they fit tyres I just re-use them usually, so what's the correct one to get so they can fit new ones?

I spotted fleabay item 161153869845 which looks promising is it just the standard size that I need?

Hi Adam, last time I had tyres fitted I recall the guy saying something about the metal valves being a bit dicky coz they can corrode I think so I opted for standard rubber ones for a better seal, hence I think I kept my old ones if one is any use to you, John.

As what John says ^^^^^ they do corrode.

Hi Adam,
I have the rubber ones but they have a metal sleeve over them so they look and work good.
