Can anyone tell me the proper specification and/or model number for the front tyre inner tubes?
While at Morgans West, they stressed that the tube was different than typical tubes in that the air valve was different (in its shape or position).
I searched the forum, but couldn't find a specific enough reference so that I could check for the tubes online.
If you have a link for a U.S. supplier, that would be best -- but anything would help.
Thanks,
James

Thats right they area special spec - sorry cannot recall the detail - but be sure to get the right ones!
Surprised your dealer cannot help- or email MMC or a uk Dealer maybe?

You need a tube with a centre/side valve as it's offset. The wheels are supplied by MWS: http://shop.mwsint.com/product_details.asp?id=62At the bottom of the page are links to related products including the tubes.

It's a Blockley Superior Tube 400-19 with a side mounted stem. This tire is made in Great Britain and the fittings on the stem are nicer to behold.
The Coker line sold by Summit Racing in the States looks ok as well. This tube is spec'd out for 4.00/4.50 and will fit 18/19 wheels.
Part number for the Coker is COK-86275
The markings on the tube state that the tire is made in the EEC
The Coker Excelsior tire is made in Taiwan but looks superior to the Blockley and is a dead ringer for it.

What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

I want to support the dealer, but there are limits. It they will come even vaguely close to market value, I will purchase from them, simply to help them stay in business. But it's hard to fathom $80 per tube.

Would it make sense to have a sticky where people can post sources for parts they've found? I know we can search the threads, but it might be a big help to have a focused set of references to help us find relevant parts.

If I see a useful nugget of information on this forum I copy and paste it into a word document.  It's currently up to page 22!
