tubes

[iron mountain 1]

I was lucky enough to buy a set of new inner tubes (19") that have meatal valve stems. I did not get any hardware with them.

My question is... do I have to use the metal piece that holds the valve stem off of the inside of the rim. It looks like a rectangle piece of metal with a hole in it. I saw this in a picture in the MAC'S parts catalog.

Sorry for the dumb question but have never had metal stem tubes before.

Thanks Kris

Yes, it is assembled like this:

Even though the above is a model T, it still shows how the piece you are talking about is used.
Here is a video on the Model A:

Most guys like Bert's, Bratton's and Snyder's the best.

Mac's is the last place I would order from.
Bratton's has them. https://www.brattons.com/30-31-bridge-washer.html

If you ever get them from Mac's, they probably won't fit.
