Well, back to the tube hunt. I need 5 tubes for the TB; they are the ones
with a .50" diameter (prefer metal) stem that is off set like a TC. So far
I have received another set of the metal stemmed center type (like the PA,
PB,TA uses), and so they are for sale for 11 bucks each plus shipping. I
take a hit on the shipping, but I would have to going both ways if I ship
them back.
One outfit sent me farm implement tubes with a rubber stem that was .650 in
diameter. You couldn't drive it through the wheel hole with a hammer!!
Where can I get the proper tubes????
And write if you need any TA or older type 19" tubes.......
Best Regards,
Ray McCrary
