Combat rim valve stems?

[TheBuggyman]

Does anyone know of a vendor that has or can get valve stems for the 5 ton single combat rims?

I'm looking for some of those as well. Memphis equipment quoted me $28 each. Any other sources out there? I know there are at least two types.

Good luck - I know they are quite hard to find.

I thought I lost one when I was powdercoating my rims, so I went through the the catalog at my local tire store. We where able to make up a valve stem that worked from some of the OTR wheel parts. I think the wheel hole is 13/16" diameter, and they sell what they call a spud that comes in 13/16". There are also some 90 degree stems that are low profile and screw into the spud.


Then I found the one I thought I lost, so it was a waste of time... Until now.

It's definitely a project, but they can be made yourself if you need one bad enough... Let me know if you need more info.

Thank you for the info, I'll call Memphis Eq and see what they have. If they cannot help then I will have to make my own.

Anyone got pics? I got a buddy with lots of goofy stuff in his yard. Might be worth a look.
