The Murphy Builders Site

Nig,
I have Goodyear 8.50s and when I tried to find tubes for them with a bent stem to fit the Murphy time I couldn't find them anywhere. Finally, Alaskan Bushwheels told me I could make my own! I bought 8.50 straight stem tubes and got some bent, glue on stems from A.B. and cut and pasted. They have been holding air for about 4 years now. That was a piece of info that really got me out of a jam, so hope it helps someone else.

Subject: [rebel-builders] Inner Tubes alternate part number ?

Hi All

Had my first puncture a few days ago - still at the taxiing around stage so
not a lot of wear and tear so far.

In the process of checking for a new inner tube locally (6.00-6 bent stem
valve) I found no one local, and ended up being quoted $120 by my local
aviation supply store - and few days wait !

I then phoned a few tyre specialists in the auto trade, and ended up
chatting to a plane enthusiast who rang me back with a new part number - and
only about $25 delivered next day !!

11x710/600-5 is the part number

It's arrived OK, looks good, made in Taiwan

Brand is TubeLine. Sidewall print states 11x6.0/7.1-5

My original Chinese tube is now patched and back on the plane. I'll keep the
new one in the plane as a spare to get me home if needed.
