These are still available from some vendors- I bought a pair last year. You could also contact Anders Hellburg in Sweden. Anders has a factory-built Gr-3 club-racer and maintains the DeTomaso Gr-3 Registry. He may even have some spare valve stems! Good luck-


That would be a good permanent solution, trouble is I have just paid £300 to have my wheels painted!

I have had the top hats made and have araldited them in place, if the pull in rubber valve doesn't work I shall try the screw in types.

thanks for all your input Gents.
