M35A3 wheels

[patracy]

So I picked up 4 M35A3 wheels tonight for a deal I simply couldn't pass up. Where's a good place to get a new O-rings at? I know one is damaged, but I'd rather replace them all. I also picked up two 20x11 steel wheels I'm going to try running on the front. They measure out about the same as the 3 wheel only being a 1 pc design.

Look for an Oring manufacturer localy and you can take one in and they can make them for you. I read in another thread that some people have gone this route.

I purchased the o-rings and the valve stem grommets for our Fire Department's A3 wheels from Erik's Military.

Awesome! Thank you!

I see they have air valves as well, that is also on the list.

Erik is GTG!!

I'll be placing an order for the o-rings, but does anyone have a cheaper alternative for valve stems?

Do your wheels have the original CTIS pipe/elbow on them? If so, you can simply put a brass 90 degree elbow on the end with a reducing bushing and tire valve. Our CTIS was disconnected so that is what we did.

We got the tire (tank) valve from NAPA (NTH 90294):

Yeah I still have the pipe/elbow thing. I was thinking about doing that, but I hoped maybe there was as cheap a way to do it with a one piece air valve. Don't get me wrong, that valve Erik has is very nice. But I don't see me needing/using the dual valve setup.

The HEMTT wheel valves that I have in the classifieds should fit.

Have you installed them yet on an A3 wheel? It looks like it might hit due to the bend?

 

[baxter]

We put hemmt valve stems in a friends A3 wheels they fit fine they were close but didnt hit.We had a little tubing bender incase we needed to bend them a little.

I went ahead and did the brass and tank valve thing for the four wheels I had. It was only ~$20 for them. I bought the valves from O'reilies and the 3/8 to 1/4 brass fittings from home depot. I had two of the 1/4 to 1/8 brass fittings laying around from various gauges I've had.

Can anyone identify the 1-pc wheel I picked up? It apparently measures out the same as the A3 wheels as far as width and backspacing goes.

I've also read that I'll likely have issues on the front with the tires rubbing the springs/drag link. Anyone used longer studs and a wheel spacer?

*Edit, I was going to be nice and attach the files since we can't remote host them like I do on EVERY other site. But the files are too big. So I'll just post the links up and let you click on them.
