Mosely Float on Flatness

[Malcolm Parker]

Thinking back forty some years, I seem to remember that the Moseley cushion in my Ruby did not have valves, it had red rubber plugs that were a push fit into a rubber tube.  All had perished and gone sticky like old rubber does.

Yes, that's what they are; not "valves" but exactly as you describe. One is intact and works, the other is, unfortunately, perished. Still, it is 87-years old.

I think I will be rather perished and a bit sticky when I am 87!

Thank you - they appear to have everything!

As Duncan says, even if you did have to buy a complete tube to get the valve of your choice I would think you could surgically remove it and cold vulcanize it to your cushion, unless you can find an old-school tire shop that still has the valve platen attachment for their hot vulcanizer. Given the modest pressures involved it should work just fine.
