need to locate Dicor wheel liner valve extension stabilizer

[dsruth]

so here is my story and I'm stick'en to it. I have a 2011 Via. It has Dicor wheel liner Part number SHSF1608. What I need is the valve extension stablizer. The RV has a total of four. Two on each rear wheel liner. One of mine has cracked and I am having a hell of a time finding a replacement. These are what holds the SS valve extenders. It is a short piece of metal with a 90 degree bend on both ends and are held on to the wheel liner by two1/4 inch phillips screws. any help is greatly appreciated.
So far our trip has taken us from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego. We seem to go from town to town to perform maintenance. So far, 1. right front blow out. 1. Leaking toliet, 1. broken main entry door handle. And now this, the valve extension stablizer. Open to any better ideas as well, Thanks

Mine had the clamp on stabilizers but when I went to the steel valve stems from Borg they came with solid rubber inserts that press into the hole in the wheel and hold the stems very nicely (see pic, rubber insert at 2 O'clock position), you could probably get some rubber and make them or for now maybe pack some electrician's duct seal in the hole till you can find parts.
I hear you about repairs, luckily I found myself with almost 6 months to work on the rig at home right after we bought it and went through it with a fine toothed comb.

There is a Borg equipment supply in San Diego 619-584-9250

I went through mine as well but crap still happens. Same for airplanes and boats. Thanks for the info. By the way. You cheated, you got Alcoa wheels.

I thought they all had Alcoa wheels. If yours doesn't it might be easier to find an insert

[dsruth]

I have Mercedes steel wheels with wheel inserts (think hub caps) that were part of Winnebago’s trim package when built. The Alcoa wheels are an aftermarket thing. Think nice upgrade.

I had a similar problem but in my case I couldn't find the rubber insert that was missing. One day, I stopped into a Truck tire center...Les Schwab...and they had these clip things that clip onto the wheel cover then hold the brass extensions I have. They installed them on my rears and didn't charge me anything. Still using them 4 years later. Never did find the right size rubbers.

Have you contacted Dicor? I needed a single replacement extension and worked with them directly. 800-837-2059 or
service@ dicorproducts.com

Try Shinyrv.com. I used the Rubber insert for my Valve Stem Extensions and they worked great. The Customer Service Rep was very helpful.

Can you take the liner off and rotate 180?

[dsruth]

Problem solved. Got the stabilizer welded. Hope it will hold until I get home and have the machine shop make a set.

Glad you got it fixed. If you are coming through Tucson on your way home and have any problems and need help post here or send me a PM. I have a metal working shop at my house.
