Lightspeed Clutched July 28, 2003 Share July 28, 2003 Theft Deterrent Chrome Valve Caps Was introduced to this by my brother in law who's staying in the USA. Searched a few sites on the net and the prices are all about the same 2 pairs @ USD$30 excluding shipping. Think if you guys have friends overseas (Turbobrick ), can ask them to get and send over to save on shipping? One of the sites selling.. shipping charges is a real killer! http://www.3sxperformance.com/trinkets.asp This is a set of 4 valve caps with the Mitsubishi Diamonds logo or Dodge Ram Head logo on the top and a pair of "keys" used to tighten/loosen the valve caps that can go on your keyring. You simply slide the valve cap into the key, there's a squared notch that lines up, and install the valve cap. Then slide the key off the cap. Now the chrome valve caps just turn freely - you can not remove them without the black key. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear July 28, 2003 Share July 28, 2003 Why don't you just buy one normal 6 sided cap. Use the spanner to tighten the cap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zrun Neutral Newbie July 28, 2003 Share July 28, 2003 (edited) What about contacting a supplier and buy a ten thousand valve caps for 10 dollars? Then just litter a handful around your car each time you park in dangerous places. Put in 5 dummy valve caps. Spread on your valve cap a layer of peanut butter, thief won't steal.

Lightspeed Clutched July 28, 2003 Author Share July 28, 2003 (edited) Accordingly cannot remove without the black key? http://www.madvet.com/shop?store=1&category=40&frame=3790 Theft Deterrent Valve Stem Caps Outsmart potential thieves by locking your C4 logo caps in place with Theft Deterrent Valve Stem Caps. Set of 4 custom caps arrives with 2 plastic keys, which enable you (and ONLY you) to secure and remove the caps from your valve stem, leaving would-be thieves powerless. Arrives with complete instructions. Specify chrome or aluminum finish. Edited July 28, 2003 by Lightspeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martmode8850 Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 now all the thieves need is just the black key... once they have it, i believe it is universal and they can continue to steal valve caps... i think the only solution is to make the caps so cheap and available that it is pointless to steal it...

Madarmour Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 I think for $60 you can buy quite a lot of valve caps and still afford to get stolen a few times........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 Is it the same? You have to use a tool to open the cap.. why not settle it with a cheaper cap and use spanner to tighten it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrun Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 I'm actually tempted to buy the above valve caps.. 100 count for 15 USD or so... x2 for SGD. However, it'll be stolen even easier, as it is shiny, but lots of extras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zrun Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 This is a permanent solution. There's no valve cap on these valve stems.. They look good too. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
