Looking for a source of inner tubes for a CT133. Don’t need new, as a/c will be static. Anybody any ideas?

Thanks again Geoff, but no luck with either. Calport don’t do tubes and LAC don’t have the size (and would only do new anyway, at about £500 per pair). The tyre size is 26 x 6.6, which is so old that a lot of suppliers don’t even recognise it!

Hi All,
What about these ?

I imagine the T33 and CT133 use the same wheel as would I imagine a P-80 ?
Just out of interest what are the dimensions of the tube you need ?
Geoff.

Thanks Geoff, but yes, tried Watts and Desser and as many museums as I can find that have the a/c. Far as I can see I’m left with operators who have recently done a tyre change.

Hi All,
Here you go :- https://wattsaviation.co.uk/products-services/aircraft-tyre-tubes/
Or any of the following:-

Failing any of these contact any museum who own one, thinking outside the box commercial vehicle inner-tubes ? Ebay/Facebook/ Commercial vehicle Scrap Yards etc.etc. being as it’s a static ? ?
