S2 Elan - Metal Tyre Valves

Postby WillB » Thu 09.11.2006, 11:24

If anybody's tried to get these you'll know they are thinner than most standard bolt in valves and most tyre places don't stock them.

You can get them from Lotus but they are a fortune!

The cheap option is to go to any good Motorcycle shop as they are a standard size used on many motorcycles. Just ask for the thin type. Oh and about half the cost from Lotus! :D

It's something I've known for a while and keep forgetting to post up! Just needed one for my S2 yesterday and that jogged my memory.

Anyway, hope this helps others in the future

What size are fitted to SE versions? Normal or slim?

Normal, hence not difficult to source
