You can get the custom wheel valve stem most anywhere that custom wheels are sold. I took a company vehicle to discount tire yesterday to get a flat fixed and saw these valve stems on a display board at the counter.

A follow up post since it is some seven years since I described my repair above. That repair was on my wifes station wagon which I sold to a German fellow who has an independent MB shop in Dallas. That was in about 1994. He put a new interior in the car and did a few things to it and it is his wifes car.

I saw him and the car about two years ago and she is still driving it. The valve stem is still in the radiator and has given no problems. I think this is adequate testimony that it is a sturdy repair.

Have a great day,
