poppyh Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm using a seconhand wheel to use as a spare wheel for my m/h, have trouble locating the correct steel bolt in valves. Fiat don't seem to be able to help. Any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 There are plenty available on Ebay. At least one seller does them singly. You need to be careful about the hole size though - I think the Ducato uses the 11.5mm size, but I certainly wouldn't take my word for it :-S . Presdumably you could measure the one you have?

Robinhood Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 No problem! I know a number of people are having problems locating the appropriate valves. In revisiting the following site whilst pointing someone at 'van alloys, I was reminded that they also sell metal bolt-in valves (part way down the page) http://www.tyresave.co.uk/alloyvan.html ....though I suspect only in sets of 4. It may help someone in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 poppyh Your best bet for obtaining a single clamp-in valve may well be this company http://www.auto4.co.uk/ and a suitable valve may be this one http://www.auto4.co.uk/Valves-and-Valve-Hardware/Clamp-In-Valves/Clamp-In-Valve-42mm-cw-16mm-Nut--235030 This (I'm pretty sure) is the "Alligator"-branded product I chose when replacing my Hobby's tyre valves. As Robinhood says, you'll need to establish the diameter of the 'valve hole' in your spare wheel (11.3mm diameter (nominal) is by far the most common) and to select a suitable length of valve (42mm probably should be OK). If you are in doubt, ask Auto4 for advice on 01623 441800 When fitting this type of valve, care needs to be taken that the clamping-nut is not overtightened (4-6Nm is advised by Alligator). It would be wise to check that whoever will fit the valve to your wheel is aware of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
