RE: {Chrysler 300} 64 300 valve stems 14" wheel

For those of you who have followed this thread…

I received a set of valve stem angled extensions. My shop used the shortest stems they had and with the extensions with an angle (45), they fit just perfect. One does have to slip the cover over the stem and start to tap it down from there.

I did have some Q&A issues, the valve in one of the extensions was loose and leaked. I tightened it and so far, so good. In a day or two I will check the pressure to see if anything is leaking.

From the photos you can see the stem before the cover and after as well as the box I ordered from Amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/Dsycar-Degree-Brass-Valve-Extension/dp/B073CRQGZH?th=1

On the new 14-inch wheels for the 300K, I sanded the powder coat off a little dot in two places at the same location as the stock wheels. I then mixed up some JB Weld and put a dot of it on those locations. After it dried for a day or two, I used a Dremel tool shape them.

These are the factory anti-rotation bumps for the hubcaps We will see how they work once I get the booster back on and take it for a good drive.

Attached photo is a factory wheel and one I made before final paint.

Hi Dan,

I have used masking tape on the rims to stop the wheel covers from moving. It worked very well on our 1964 Galaxy 500 “14 wheels” which has very heavy wheel covers.

Hi,

I had problems with the 15 " wheels on my F. The wheel covers kept turning. Bending the tangs to make a tighter fit did not help. When I converted 15" wheels to accept 14" wheel covers, I decided to spray lots of paint where the tangs meet the wheels so the covers would fit tighter. Schzaam!! No more turning of the covers. Also now I do not worry about losing a cover out on the highway.

Everyone take care and be well.

I just get valve stems from Napa. They have both diameters and various lengths based on what your wheel covers require. I wouldn't use metal ones on a 1964 as the factory wheel covers move around too much, especially if you're using radial tires.

A chilly hello to All,

The original 64 14" rims use the premier 8139 TR 413 valve stem.

The rim hole measured .380"

Who has completed this issue before me?

A lots of TR 413 stems listed, most rim holes larger than .380

Thanks

Dave D.
