[Vwdiesel] Rabbit Brake Master Cylinder

[David Cook]

I'm not sure what is used for a child's cycle tube.  

At the local FLAPS, they had a replacement tire valve
stem that instead of being held to the rim by the
rubber on both sides, the outside half has threads and
a nut which compress the inside (of the rim) part of
the valve stem to the inside of the rim.
