valve caps

[cdt]

When I bought my wedge it came with shiny valve caps.

Two of them have since been stolen - I want to replace them, so 2 questions:

1) What do they cost?
2) Can I do anything to stop them being stolen again (tighten with a spanner, grease them with WD40 etc, put some kind of contact poison on them)

Am really ******* annoyed at this, had valve caps stolen on my Type-R before but wasn't that worried at less than a pound each.

You can buy anti theft caps which have tiny allen bolts to secure them. I'm sure they're readily available on ebay or from halfrauds etc.....

Not sure of cost, maybe about a fiver or so for a set of four??

Edited to say having now checked it looks like they are around 12 quid for a set. Found these which look quite good...

It would be much cheaper to drill & wire them with some stainless wire. Plus it would look REALLY hard.

Yeh, barbed wire

Had a set that didn't lock and they soon dissapeared.

Bought a set with the locking allen head grub screw and so far still got all of them. However they are fiddly to remove (which is a real pain when you have a very slow leak on a tyre like I do so need to put a few pounds in every time I use the car)and after a while I have lost one of the tiny grub screws.

However they do finish off metal valves nicely.

I just tighten mine with a screwdriver socket.. it does make adding air a bit fiddly - as I have to use a socket to undo and do up.

But I get to keep the caps
