Does anyone know where to buy these? the club used to sell em, but after 15 mins of frustration looking for them at TVR online i gave up. Anyone? the nice silver ones with purple logo. Ta Mark .... p.s. they used to be called "max caps"

I bought mine from www.auto-motif.co.uk a month or so ago (although I only have two left now...), they weren't the locking type but were the colour/design you mentioned.

Screw the standard valves and caps IMO...

Get yourself a set of racing flush mount locking valves... and not the Richbrook demon tweaks pish...

I see a lot of Richbrook TVR stuff on Ebay, but I think it looks a tad 'Boy Racer'ish, or is it me being a snob??

Yup, thats why I said 'Not Richbrooks'...

Real Racing Flush mount valves have a huge 1" valve mechanism internally and normally either a star shape lock or allen-key lock... they're light as hell and look the bees knees!

As long as you fill those tyres up with nitrogen, you'll never have to worry about your pressures - unless of course you're a tracker... but check the alloys first, if you are topping the pressures up on a regular basis - you could have the pourus syndrome or wheels that need maintenance - never play with fire - wheels and tyres are the first most important thing, even before your brakes! IMO...

I got the old style (silver on blue a la later 'M' series).
Phone them up if you have any problems. I got new valves, which come with silver dust caps, and the locking TVR ones.

I got the purple logo ones from the TVRCC mail order line last week after some b@@@@@@ helped themselves to mine outside a local public house.Its the latest craze in Aberdeen apparently.The little darling's seem to have a passion for all caps that are shiny and not made of black plastic.Cost £23 + delivery to replace with anti-theft ones!!! Look the biz tho'.

Light fungered fickers.

Mate of mine came to visit in his company Honda Wossname. Car parked outside my place in a 'respectable' area for an hour and the shiny caps were gone!

Loading my air rifle and waiting...................

Did the same although I got two sets just in case

Cheap enough not too get too upset when they get pinched too...

It is annoying but usually little kids that do it - and the sort of thing I'd have done as a 10 year old? So I have to bite my tongue a bit here...

Be careful though. I found that at speed they bend over and scratch the Alloys over a period of time.
