Is the tube with the vulcanized metal valve stem still in stock anywhere? I need a 19" one in new or good used condition.
 
I'm not sure about that Bob, but I'd like to comment on a new set of 19" tubes I bought from Walt Bratton for our '30 Roadster, two years ago.

I was in the garage just yesterday. Car is stored in a heated garage.

I checked the air pressure and three were still on 35 pounds the other was at 33 pounds.

Two years and I've never put air in them:eek:

THANK YOU Bratton's for supplying good inner tubes!
 
I believe this is the original roof.

Hi Bob:


I have also used the inner tubes from Bratton's and I have had great luck with them. I always recommend them.
 
Are bonded in metal stems available?

I though everyone "original" was going to the loose "clamp-in" stem - which uses the regular tube rubber stem which is cut off, leaves a hole, and then you stretch the hole around the T-shaped metal stem and clamp it in place?

My Victoria has rubber stem tubes modified to receive metal stems. Out of the 5 tubes I modified, one only holds air for a day, and the others need replenishing once per month. My coupe has rubber stem tubes and once per year they need replenishing because of the cold winter's cold weather.

I found that Snyder's has some 19" metal stem tubes in their show room for sale. These have stems that are vulcanized a bit offset, but I ordered 4 of them anyway.
 
I bought six 19 inch tubes with the metal stems from Eckler's in October. I saw they had them in stock and jumped at the chance.
