To add to what Jack correctly said the currently available tubes with metal valve stems do not fit Model T wood felloe wheels because the stems are larger in diameter than the hole in the ferrule. If your wheels have been re - wooded in the past ten years or so by Stutzmann they use a large enough piece of tubing (5/8" OD, 1/2" ID) to allow these new, larger metal stems to fit.


These new metal valve stems are not re - usable like originals. They are vulcanized in place. They are not made to be reusable. This is why original metal valve stems are superior. They can be re - used endlessly by purchasing a rubber stem tube, cutting off the rubber stem, and inserting it. It's super easy to do.
