are they drilled for schraeder valves ?

try [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=46838 ]these[/url] - work best with an extra (smaller) o-ring added I found

just rolled it on to the valve stem

This was on a flow rim - the indent in the rim looked a bit too curved for it to fit right without and the metal base of the valve has a sharpish edge that I didn't want digging into the rim. As the valve base is metal you can tighten down very positvely and get a nice rigid valve stem - some of the rubbery ones flop a bit I think

I've also used mastic bath sealant beofre now with good effect

Yeh ! I'm sure they used to be cheaper - might have got 'em in the flood sale (But have ordered some more anyway)
