jpaero Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Hello People, Tyre keeps going flat and got it checked out. Seems i need a new 90 degree stem valve for my Ray Volk alloys. Thought i'd see if anyone on here could help? Need these asap. Quote
M13KYF Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 try Gaz Walker or Chilli Red at Envy or Adam at Z1 auto Quote
jpaero Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Mike any other ideas or can anyone else help. Need this as soon as possible. Looking to sell the car and this is the only thing holding me back as i want it fixed for the next person. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Go to your local tyre fitters and ask them if they have a 90 degree valve that you normally use on truck/lorry wheels. They fit just the same and I have one on my Volks, been running it since June with no issues whatsoever. Quote
jpaero Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 have been mate, they said they havent got anything that will do it Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 tried a tyrefitter for road hauliers? One that don't do cars, but 18 wheelers only? Quote
jpaero Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Havent tried yet. Will have to give that a go until i can get the actual part. Does it fix in the alloy 100% what you have? Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Well, sadly, when I got my Volks, somepone at the factory in Japan forgot to put one in the box. So when I bought them and turned up at the fitters, we only had 3 stem valves. Tony @ Envy, then made a trip round to find a valve and found a truck/lorry valve. it was identical to the ones Volk supplied, only difference has the rubber o-ring, but that only needed a little trimming to fit. So short aswer: Yes, it 100% fit and worked for me Quote
jpaero Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 will have to try it as well then for time being. Thanks mate! Quote
jpaero Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Based in Northern Ireland. Would this be the correct part. Think i mentioned to yourself that the wheels were rays gt-7 19 inch. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RAYS-WHEELS-VOLK- ... 3355c79c24 Quote
Gaz Walker Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Based in Northern Ireland. Would this be the correct part. Think i mentioned to yourself that the wheels were rays gt-7 19 inch. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RAYS-WHEELS-VOLK- ... 3355c79c24 Hi mate, That one is too short for you wheel, you would get an air line to it easily... You need one with a 55mm long stem, that one is 30mm. Quote
jpaero Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 thanks mate for getting back to me. There is another two on that page on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RAYS-WHEELS-VOLK- ... 3355c74186 Quote
