Location: Medford, OR | I know, all you Alcoa bastards don't give a lick about some Bias ply tube/tire fun..Lol, but I am having some premature rubber breakdown with the Coker brand flaps that leads to tube failure near the valve stem. So I am trying this experiment before locating another brand of flap (probably impossible to find). Oh, and at the last Rally we had in Oakridge OR, 5 of the 6-7 Fmc's there are still running the 17" steel wheels and Tornel rubber, so someone might like to read this info, and/or take a closer look at there own valve stems/flaps...

Location: Medford, OR | I looked at the Lucas products website the other day when I was looking for Michelin flaps, the picture of the flap on their site looks identical to the Coker flap. Probably would need to call them for a detailed part description.... |

I've got 2 good used Michelin flaps that come complete with 2 used tubes if you need them.
