Pajero rim and valve stem problem

I have a 93 Pajero. The valve stem was broken when I had snow tires put on. It does not fit a schrader.

Where can I get a new rim that fits schrader?

Where can I get a japanese valve stem?

Is it possible to get a new hole machined on my existing rim - to fit schrader.

I live in squamish. the major tire stores cannot help eg. kal tire

Help. I am running with no spare and it's our family vehicle.

Ron

Hi Ron,
I had the same thing happen to me... the day before a road trip. :-(
I'm guessing you may have the same oddball 6 mm valve stem that I have, I found some replacements at 1010 tires: Here
Kal tire was good enough to set me up with some rims for my trip, and then took the rims back and swapped the tires back for free when I got the replacement valve stem.

Good luck. :M
