Indeed, you have to be really carefull when ordering tubes not to get landed with the bl^&dy things ;)

Current tubes will have a modern valveinsert instead of the rubber tube.

But check the tubes you have, if these are of the type where the valve was screwed (instead of glued) in the tube, you could remove the valve from any modern tube and use the tube with the old valve
