So first one.


Gaskets.
I've used some very thin 0.5mm material to act as the gasket.


This was cut to size


Then the edge coloured with a pen


Once in position and secured with a little glue, I cut out the middle.




The finished item

Nice idea to post the possible mods for the Jag.



If I may be so bold, could I suggest a different method for the gaskets.(Note: I`ve not tested this, just a thought)

Many years ago when I used to do my own car maintainance, I used Red Hermatite, a non setting sealer for gaskets. This has now become Hylotyte Red, link below. It comes in this case with a thin nozzle aplicator.

Nice mod, looks very good.

Received my air values today.

Just to see how they would look, once I fit them they will need a hole drilled into the rim so they can sit a little be closer.

Very nice, where can we get some??

I second this question

Thanks for posting the Shapeways link; tires valves ordered

Got my valves late last week. I ordered the most expensive type, hoping for the most detail and least prep time, and I wasn't disappointed. I was surprised on the large box they came in, compared to the actual size of what I had ordered - so don't be too quick on throwing out the packaging, you may find out you have thrown out everything by mistake!

Going to be away from my normal modelling space for a while, but hope for some good weather when I get back after next weekend to spray these puppies up. I plan on masking the dust cap ends to preserve the plastic, using some normal steel/metal for the main body of the valve, and using some chrome lacquer for the ring to tie it into the wheel itself.

I'll post some pictures of before and after when I have them done.

I have read that you may be able to build the wheels in this model. If this is something you would take on I have one wheel that needs assembly that I don't seem able to complete, obviously I would be happy to pay for your time.
