Hi all! First post...
I bought a Japanese Import Toyota Alphard 2005 first time in England. The wheels look to be aftermarket probably not Toyota OEM wheel.
They have a nonstandard short valve in them with an internal thread. It is smaller than the standard uk diameter and also shorter thread length. I tried lots of adapter (some shown in images) and none of them fit. Has anyone seen such a valve or know how to get an adapter from standard uk pump to this valve? Ideally able to buy somewhere/online in the uk.
All the local tyre places are not keen to even try and replace the valve to a standard UK one. They haven't even seen such a valve. Cant find anything via Google.
Any help appreciated, Andrew
