Hust a bit of advice for those of you who have imported Scoobys with Jap Alloys.

I've just been to get 2 new tyres and when removing the old tyre off the first wheel the machine snapped the valve on the inside. The valves that are fitted are Chrome ones and I've had a nightmare trying to get hold of a replacement. Fortunatley Revolution are getting a few for me for this tuesday, so I'm driving round with a ****ty space saver on my offside front. I'm now destined to be a sunday driver for 3 days..

Does anyone know a place where I can get them for future reference.

Hi Neil

We use metal valves on our Rally/Customer cars, so if in the future you encounter this problem send us an e-mail & we will send you some by post.
There are various sizes, so we would need to know the o/d + length.

Regards
Phil

I have metal valves on the wheels on my Supra, but after the 1st centimeter or so they bend out at an angle of about 45degrees for another 2cm or so (this is to avoid the brake disc).

Would you be able to supply them as well?

thanks

Rob,

Don't worry about it mate, I'll be saving some petrol money anyway.. Wait until I've got my bits done this coming week, it'll be worth the wait once she's back on the road 100%
