Value stem question ???

Does anybody knows where i can buy chrome bolt on valve stems, because on my fleetwood GearBox, The nut that holds the valve stem on is rusted, and is started to bleed rust on to the chrome rims.

I've tried all of my local auto store and tire stores with no luck, I also tried to buy only the nut. but from what i can tell, it's a 11mm and nobody sell that size.

Thanks for any help.

If you have a fastener store in Monroe, maybe you can find 11mm stainless steel nuts there. Or one of these might fit: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&sear...20stems&page=1

My NAPA has them. The local store usually only has a few of the short straight ones but they can get as many as you want, and what ever style you want, from the larger warehouse / store downtown.

I'm sure they have a similar arrangement in your area.

I bought mine at Sears when I bought my tires. I have an F350. My mom bought us a 1991 Wilderness 24' travel trailer, so I upgraded to "E" load rated tires. With those, it was mandatory to change my valve stems. The valve stems are rated for up to 200 PSI.

NAPA had them, I completely forgot about NAPA and there only about a mile from my house. Thank you for your help.
