Locking Dust Caps

[CARLO]

Had a pain in me ying yangs with kids robbing dust caps off car.

Bought locking set.Looked the dogs danglies.Little screw put on with allen key to prevent theft.

Was going to take photos and rant how good/cool they were.

Good job i didnt.Tried to checl tyre pressure yesterday and do yoy think they would come off.

Tried to drill out today.Hour on the first one and its moving about a quarter of a turn.Two broken drill bits later and a hole in my finger gave up.Like a lunatic.

DONT GET THEM TUGBOATING NIGHTMARE

Not after a while. snow rain=rust Wasent a bother on them before.

No superglue or anything just rust on the inside.Tried everything i could think of before drill

worst case scenario, replace the valves. easier than trying to drill holes in urself!!!

I had the exact same mechanism on STi dust caps I had once. They last 2 days before all 4 were gone.

only thing i could find to match the wheel nuts bar 5zigen ones which were not a guaranteed fit.

[briancollins]

copper grease on threads before fitting is the only way
