Ken Title: Re: Challenge no 4 Post by: FC427 on January 27, 2014, 08:33:43 PM You're on the right track, tell me why these are used and not on FB or EK for instance ::) Ken The early rims had a larger hole Title: Re: Challenge no 4 Post by: john253a on January 27, 2014, 08:39:23 PM because there on a bench top and not in the car? :P
Title: Re: Challenge no 4 Post by: zulu on January 28, 2014, 02:06:10 AM FE & early FC had the larger valve stem hole in the wheels for tubeless tyres which I believe were fitted from new The early tubeless valve stems were wider at the base than the ones we use today When fitting tubes these doo hickey's were required to centre the valve stem within the larger hole As the early wheel centres were only riveted to the rims, tubeless tyres were sometimes prone to leaking air from the rivet holes Later on the rivets were replaced with spot welds Up until a few years ago you could still hunt down the wider tubeless valve stems, not sure if they are still available these days Title: Re: Challenge no 4 Post by: gp on January 28, 2014, 03:14:35 PM From memory I'm sure I've seen a bulletin stating that Holden went to tubeless tyres sometime in 1955, during FJ production???

Hi gp.My service bulletins state Jan 1956 for tubeless tyre intro. Dr Terry Title: Re: Challenge no 4 Post by: mcl1959 on January 28, 2014, 05:56:22 PM Zulu, I couldn't have said it better. I'm pretty sure the larger tubeless stems are still available. I had them fitted on the 3 tone sedan but that was a little while ago I guess. :'(
