I am looking for Schrader rim nuts #7621, #7624 or #7626 that are used with Schrader dust cups type D, #7620 and #7670, which are used in 1934-1935 Chevys. These part numbers were taken from a 1937 Schrader Catalog. This is my first post in the new forum of the VCCA, so I am not allowed to attach files, but you can see an excerpt of the 1937 Schrader Catalog in the following add:
To my knowledge these rim nuts are not reproduced. Note that Coker only offers a reproduction of Schrader #6704 (Coker #90300).
Has anyone ever seen these rim nuts?
Not having a 1934 or 1935 Chevrolet I have never looked for those stem nuts. I was under the impression that the caps could be screwed onto rubber valve stems and slid down so cover the stem without a nut.
How sweet the roar of a Chevy four

@chip Yes, the dust cup type "D" slides down and covers the valve stem, but it must be used with metal valve stems. Rubber valve stems have a tapered shape and do not need a rim nut, which secures the metal valve stem to the rim.
