Probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it by searching. What is everyone using for valvestems on H1 12bolt wheels?

There was a couple threads on here just about 2 weeks ago about this. I believe the consensus was to drill the hole out and use regular valve setms.

I'm going to just drill mine out and use the TR412s.

BIG TRUCK just got the valve stems from the local tire shop (have to take the wheel to them) the valve cores he got from a specialty shop online with the filters on them.
im going to try the hummer stealership for valvestems for my 12b h1's, if not then i guess ill have to do somesthign else

I just finished drilling and installing the new stems in my 12-bolts about an hour ago.
I am using TR412s that I bought off ebay. No one local had them, so now I have 100 of them. I used a stepped drill bit I got from HF for $10 to drill the holes. I tried a few other ways but this was the best. The hole is 1/2" for the stems. Be careful centering the drill, the slot is a bit wider than 1/2".
As a insurance against leaks I put a thin bead of black silicone around each valve stem. Then I stuck the stem in the hole from the back and gave it a tug with a pair of pliers.
I will be assembling the wheels tomorrow after washing the magnesium dust off the run flats. There is a good bit on them from being cut down.

Well, so far they are holding air. I used the 12-bolt rims, o-rings listed above, TR412 valve stems and the nuts from Fastenal.
I will update tomorrow after work.

I think the ones I posted about are military only, but I am not sure.
