Brian Sloan Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I have just installed my first set of Dubro inflatables and when the supplied valve unit is screwed into the tube there is a plain brass tube ,3mm dia and 5mm long protuding for introducing air-----------------using what? I have tried connecting several inflators to no avail, anyone got the answer please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rickett 102 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Brian,A short length of plastic tubing, the type used for air retracts is suitable, pushed over the brass tube and lead to a remote schraeder valve will provide the necesary connection for inflating the tyre. These bits are not provided with each set, presumably to keep the costs down but are simple to acquire and make up.My experience is that, having inflated a tyre, the pressure lasts no time at all, so better to make sure that the wheels will support the weight of the model without having to rely on pressure in the tyres.

Brian Sloan Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Chessiegolf,Thank you for this and I will carefully monitor performance of the tyre pressure, they seem to be holding what they have OK but are a little on the soft side causing some distortion.
