Tony..
These would be ideal to use with the insert able extended tube refrigeration s valve..
Cut them what ever length you want and use the 3/16ths OD extended tube Ref.schraeder valve,which would slide right inside the original brass valve stem..with low temperature silver solder and Bob's your uncle..
I still have an arm load of them in my tool box and if you fly me over I'll rig you up as many as you want...
I'll be bringing my own snake ..shark..and spider repellent...Comes in 30-'06...

Notice the melting temp on the Easy Flo..
430Deg..farenheit..
I've had sunburns hotter than that..and wimmen...

Stay Brite Low Temperature Silver Solder
This is a versatile non-toxic and low cost silver solder of great
strength for working at low temperatures. It has excellent affinity
for all ferrous and nonferrous alloys. It has more than 5 times the
strength of ordinary tin-lead solders. Can be used for all metals
except aluminum. Stay Brite solder is a composition of 96% tin and
4% silver and will melt at 430°F. The finished joint will be silver in
color.
Kit contains 1/2 oz. of Stay Brite silver solder with 1/16" wire
diameter, 1/2 oz. flux, and applicator

Tensile strength is 70,000PSI and I have soldered joints that have been tested to over 1400psi(nitrogen bottle pressure) so they do hold tire pressure...
