Reviving this thread

The initial question posted on this thread was about the correct length of the valve stem for the 1969 Rally wheel which was never actually answered. I'm finishing up the restoration of a set of YH rally wheels for my 1969 RS/Z project and am looking for the same valve stem length information. I've seen references to the Dill 418 stems (2") however would like to know what is the correct stem length and if possible a source for them?

Thanks Mike, LI Corvette seems to be a good source if it turns out the TR418s are the ones to buy.

Let me know. I'll be going to LIC soon to get some items and I can pick them up so you don't have to by a minimum.

Thanks Mike, very considerate. I am looking forward to confirmation of the valve stem length.

I just finished painting my rally wheels today and am looking forward to mounting the tires in a about a week once the paint has had some time to cure. Can anyone confirm the correct, original valve stem length used in 1969?

I haven't received much input on the question about the correct valve stem length for a 1969 Rally Wheel so during my research I came across an installment from Chick's (68camaroz28) build thread on TC where he states: "I have three rally wheels dated late 67 and 68 (two DF wheels & one 15X7 vette) have what seems to be the original valve stems. All are the same size and have 'TR-413' valve stems made by Dill."

Sorry Lloyd, did not see this thread until just now! Here is one of the original valve stems that came out and what I've observed on many wheels and the length I used on our DF wheels.
