I just finished putting new tires and tubes on my -6A. The old tubes were the originals from Van's (Aero Classic Leakguard). These had a valve cap that needed a 3/8" socket to remove/install.
The new tubes I installed were the Michelin Airstops. They require a 10mm socket to remove/ install the valve caps.
I had also ordered a couple of caps from ACS ( p/n 2525, MS20318-1B) and they require the 10mm socket also.
This is not a real problem, but did require me to swap out the 3/8 socket for a 10mm socket I keep in the aircraft. This note is just FYI for anyone else that may need to know.
