Linda,
I see that you've been posting on this thread for about five years (six-ish, now), and you're old and have an attitude. I like that. And I'll bet that my Bro and I are at least as old as you, if not older. We did our first restoration on a 1956 MGA when it was seven years old.
My Bro and I are prepping our 'new' old 1993 Itasca to get on the road, after our five year hiatus for heart and cancer issues. Shortly after we bought it, we had the rear end rebuilt with a lower gear ratio to suit our new Colorado mountain ways. We also put on new tires all around.
Unfortunately, we weren't paying attention when the technicians did the install, and they put/left the valve stems aimed every which way but correct. Now, we are planning on bustin' all the tires off the rims, installing new stems (hopefully, aimed in an accessible direction), and maybe putting on extenders. But maybe not.
It looks like, with the proper stems, installed in the right orientation, with the wheels mounted in a rational and logical manner, we should be able to get at everything with a minimum of hassle. Which brings us (finally) to an actual question...
Do you, with all your experience and research, have a favorite or recommended valve stem style, manufacturer, or source that you would be willing to share with us? I've googled the hell out of'em, and think I've narrowed it down to under a hundred choices, but I'm always willing and excited to solicit the wisdom of those more experienced than myself.
Either way, thanks for looking out for we ToyMotorHeads.
