Or a variation thereof.
The clamps are available separately, but at that low price....

Great idea but they are mighty proud ($$) of their kits.

I only have them because that was what came with the motorhome when I replace the currently 6-year-old tires I will switch to the rubber grommets to stabilize the inside dually tire valve.

Where are you going to buyer the rubber valve stabilizes?
I can only locate as part of a valve stem package. Have the valve exstentions.

Mine have been on the wheels since new and don't bend at all. I'll see you anecdotal experience and raise you two years.

It's a lot of work to do yourself, but my own self satisfaction of a no failure in the future is well worth the effort.
I will edit in the thread link I refer to.
