| Subject: | Access to tire vale stems |
Hi
I saw a couple of pix from of -10s in SA that appear to have nicely sized access
ports on the wheel pants. Does anyone know about these. I would be interested
in being able to access tire valve stems simply and easily.
Cheers
Les

Do yourself a favor and convert you wheels to take 90 degree valve
stems. Use a valve stem extender sold in truck tire stores through a
small hole in the wheel pant to air up the tire. To make it easy to
line up the stem/hole paint a white stripe vertically on the inside of
the tire ..... you can see the stripe when you're handling the tow bar.

You can drill a 2" hole centered 2-2.5" aft and 1/2" above the axle screw. Cirrus
sells a 2" plug that will fit the hole. You have to leave the valve cover off,
but you can easily add air.

I drilled 3/4" holes then used a metal cover like Cleaveland sells. You can buy
the same thing at the local hardware store for about a quarter per wheel.
I also painted a mark on the tire when the valve stem is aligned with the hole.
The system works well, except its a PITA if you are by yourself. It's impossible
to see the marks on the tires while holding the tow bar.

Yes, it's a bit of a pain to take off the pants. But, unless your tubes leak badly,
you really ought to be looking at brakes, wheels, etc., about as often as
your tubes need air.

That's been my standard reply to this for years too. I personally
don't need the added temptation to SKIP taking the fairings off,
because I know I'd succumb. I generally only have to take them
off in spring and fall,with the leak guard tubes, and I think brake
pads deserve inspection more often than that.
