Is there a way to repair a valve stem rim hole?

[truitt44@...>]

Jon,
I'm no expert on rims, air valves or metalurgy but someone on the forum that has
that knowledge can better guide you. I do know when you mix metals say aluminum
rims against steel valves it can cause deterioration. I would certainly check
all the air valves to be sure they are compatable with Aluminum.
And if you are not sure change them all to a compatable stem. You can buy a lot
of stems for $400.00 dollars.
