Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I think if you remove the elbow at the end of the hose, you can screw in a schrader valve to the end of the pipe that runs in to the wheel port...Is there a simple / easy way to just plug /remove the hose on the ctis and just have valve stem to air the tires manually im so over my tires constantly leaking down ctis doesnt work tried for a while to make it work im over it then if the tire still leaks down it either an o ring or a hole in the tire . fixing to take 4 newer tires and rims off 1082s and swap onto truck so while ive got em off might be easier to work on !????? Iwould love a set of these wheels on this thread theyre the ticket !
I will check that ideal out in the morning i figured others on here had given up as well and enginerd a way around the hoses ThanksI think if you remove the elbow at the end of the hose, you can screw in a schrader valve to the end of the pipe that runs in to the wheel port...
If you didn't want to permanently modify the rim, you could also design a plate that bolts on exactly the same way that the original valve assembly did. It would use the two tapped bolt holes, and seal to the air port hole the same way as the valve (o-ring?).If you wanted the aluminum wheels and wanted to delete the CTIS valve you would need to tap the large hole and adapt it to a Schraeder valve.

You could make that two parts, if you wanted... the plate, and a lathed post that screws to the plate. But it would probably be made with a CNC mill anyway, so the groove wouldn't be a problem either way.Actually if you could tap the hole without drilling it any larger would be the better route. Reason being if you went the plate method you would have to machine an oring groove it the plate to match the valve body. Because the wheel doesn’t have the grove in it and it seals on the flat surface of the wheel.
The plate idea would be the better way in that it would hide all the holes but it’s no fun machining an oring groove in flat plate with out a cnc mill.
Anything can be done with enough time and money!
