Default Need Help - Wheel Valve Extensions

Hey All, need help with locating someone whole sells Wheel Valve Extensions. I have a set of Savini three piece wheels, and the TPS comes out of the wheel at an angle which sits back behind the wheel register. Their is a notch in the register for the valve extension to come through so when the extension is attached (1 1/4" in length, around a 21 degree bend), it lays horizontal to the outer wheel lip. It has to have a 'B' nut style or knurled end that can be threded on like a schrader cap so bent extension can stay in lace as the threaded end is tightened. The wheels were purchased here on the forum last year and came with the extensions already installed. One started to leak last saturday and then fell apart. I called Savini (not much help) gave me some local distributers which I went to visit today, again (no help). So if any one has seen these or know where I can find them, please drop me a line - runnin out of options on how to replace the 1 1/4, 21 degree extension - Thanks in advance

Got a few pics together to spark some ideas....
Total length is approx 1 1/4 inch - from valve stem on wheel, it is around 5/16 to where bend starts, bend is around 21 Degrees, then another 15/16 to end of extender where valve cap threads on. The piece that is shown apart of the extender is the knurled B nut that threads onto the Wheel valve where the (TPS) comes up through the wheel. The schrader is built into the extender, but a replacement would not necessarily need it - I have a schrader valve in the existing wheel (TPS) valve end at the moment. It would need to be either Stainless, Brass-chrome plated, or steel, alum chrome plated to match wheel finish - Thanks again if anyone can help locate at least one of these , BTW that piece in front of the extender is supposed to be attached...Thanks Again
