Valve caps

[KS Pontiac]

Regarding the valve stem length discussed earlier,the normal short valve stem most tire stores use is called a TR413 or just 413 and is listed as 1 1/4 inches long in the dill catalog. From your description it sounds like the repro tires are coming with 418 valve stems which are listed as 2 inches long. There is a stem length in between the two called a 414 which is listed as 1 1/2 inches long but not all tire stores carry them. From the responces it sounds like some of you are on good terms with local tire stores and should be able to get them free or cheap. I usually sell them for .22 each but don't always have them on hand. Also I had my supplier get me a box of Dill 627 caps but it sounds like no one is going to need them now.I would be interested in how well the valve caps in an envelope go through the mail sorting machines.
