 Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2016 6:13 am Post subject: ACE Wheel Valve Extensions |
 |
|
Two of the valve extensions on my wheels do not work. This means I have to remove the discs when I check tyre pressures.
The only place I can find that might supply these is Fiennes,
http://www.fiennes.co.uk/Parts/Catalogue/O/OB/OB160
These are different to the tube/plunger arrangement on my car.
1. Does anyone know of a source of the tube/plunger arrangement originals?
2. Has anyone any experience of the Fiennes alternative?
Thanks |

| I don't know anything about the original type, and I don't know what others might be suitable, but a Google search comes up with various kinds of tyre valve extensions much cheaper than the Fiennes ones. |

My vintage Citroen has some extensions, these were fitted by Vintage tyre supplies at Beaulieu when they fitted the tyres. No idea if they are similar to what you need, but may be worth a call.

| If Will Fiennes has "sorted" them, they will be OK. |

| I have several boxes of valve extensions somewhere. If you send me a picture of what you have I will see if they are the same. |

| These are the extensions from Fiennes. Mine are shorter and incorporate a plunger in a metal tube to depress the valve in the wheel rim. Will do a pic when I can this weekend. |
