Bullet Valve Stems?

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

I'm interested in the dead pedal as well.

Yup waiting on the dead pedal also can't wait to see what you guys came up with.

Also interested in these & the dead petal.

This design for the .45 ACP valve stem cap should cover some of the stem too. Can anyone confirm that the .40 opening at the base would be wide enough to fit over the stock Raptor valve stem?

I can in a couple hours. I think it might be best to just look like the brass casing, with the head stamp faced out.

I'm not against it, but I think those are out there; usually made from real casings.

You need to design the Dead Pedal to look like a bullet...

I know, I know make a simple design to a complex one...

Does this cover what you were looking for?

The mouth of the case stops at the rubber part of the stem, where it becomes a little larger than the brass end. I think if you wanted the head of the case to be hollowed out & slip over the stem, that it would be too small, especially where the case head tapers in for the extractor to grab it.

That tapered portion of the case head is 0.347"

Sorry, I don't think I was very clear. I just need to know the diameter of the stock valve stem. The cap we designed to fit assuming that the valve stem is less than .40

The rubber part is much greater than that, but the wheel is in my way & I can't get my calipers in there to measure it. Maybe the non-beadlockable wheels would have more space to measure.

But I can't get close to getting a fired 40 casing over the rubber portion, and a spent casing will be larger than 0.423", as the case mouth expands when fired.
