Help, need inner tubes!

[Fournier Boy]

Hi all, am trying to find a pair of good condition (new or unused) 8.00x4 Goodyear inner tubes for my Piper L4. Light Aero are far too expensive in my eyes, whilst Desser Tires in the states, although more reasonably priced, are currently out of stock. Can anyone out there help????

Ideally need asap, in West Sussex.

Have you rung Watts Aviation (http://www.wattsaviation.co.uk/) - find them very helpful.

Have got a spare 8.00 x 4 x 4 tyre, I have no longer a need for, but unfortunately without inner tube.

You could try Ken Ballington.

Ken has a set of tyres, no inner tubes. I have phoned Watts, am waiting for them to replky with stock levels and a price. Someone has got to have some somewhere! Thanks for the replies so far!

Have you rung round the tyre fitters in Yellow Pages?

I take it you are not being serious! - these tubes went out of main production over 20 years ago. They are now only made in small batches by specialised companies - hence the limited stock levels. just like tyres for my Morris Minor, their tyres used to be 10 a penny, (or more factually correct, one for £21) now out of production, they are very costly. Same with these Goodyear 8.00x4's once plentiful, now difficult to find.

Someone must have a few on a shelf somewhere????
