    I bought a******in set of Minilites for my wife's Corvair and they have these valve stems. I really like 'em but short of making my own air fitting I have no way to fill them. Anyone recognize these and/or know where I can get an inflator fitting?

    Got several sets on my cars with wires. get in touch with Gorilla products in L A. Your local tire dealer might be able to help out also. They have O rings & need to be replace occasionally & should have dime size screw on covers. Just googled gorilla valve stem filler & summit & amazon carry them.

    Thanks a lot for the info. I know the picture wasn't too good, grabbed it from the ebay ad. My Google searches turned up everything but these. I'll try out your suggestions. Thanks again.

    jeg's lists them as "flush mount tire valves" or "smoothie valves."
