I don't think there ever was such a part. The bottle style you're talking about was just intended to be filled from an air pump, completely independent of the spare tire. It doesn't work well unless you leave the bottle half empty, otherwise the pressure just falls off too fast. OTOH, if you buy the new set from Aircooled.net you can put the new cap and hose on your old bottle (I THINK the threads are the same) and then just ignore the Schraeder valve on the tank. I'll look to see if I have one at home. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
