Peter, it may pay you to have the oversized holes TIG-welded closed, then remachined to 11 mm. Also note that DeTomaso offered aluminum valve stems in the Gr-3 catalogue for Europe- only. 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.
