Bob,
The 300K covers are notorious for turning on the wheel and metal valve stems will damage the covers if they do this. My first car was a ’64 300 Sport and I’d have to pull the wheel covers and put them back on after they turned.

Nick,
I’ve never owned a K, but I have metal valve stems on my G. Why is it a no no to use metal valve stems on a K?

Looking for wheel valve stems to fit a 300K with the original wheelcovers. Looks like they need to be at least 2 ½” long. I tried a cover on a wheel with a 2” stem and it’s just flush with the hole. I can’t find long ones except for metal ones and that’s a no no on these.
What are people using? Extenders? I assume the factory must have used ones long enough to clear the wheel cover but it’s been so long since I had my ’64 300 I don’t remember.
