    Vintage KG Works Valve Stem Caps

    I have been collecting this set for a while now, and have everything except the valve stem caps, if anyone has a set or a source for them just let me know. Here is a picture Adam took of his set:

    That's a real nice collection. Good luck in your quest, but let me just offer this little piece of advice and anecdote:

    If you never find the valve stem caps, you really won't be missing anything. In the past I had a set of caps with little m's on them. I had to have them and then after I put them on I began to feel like such a weenie for spending money on them. No matter what anyone tells you, they will not add 3hp to the performance of your roadster and in fact probably have the opposite affect to the amount of coolness you inherently exude. You will never notice them except when changing or inflating a tire, and then you are likely to notice that one or more are missing and now you are back on the quest to find just one cap to complete your set which is nearly impossible to do.

    The more you value these little caps as special, the more they seem to mysteriously go missing. Don't ask me where they go. It's a secret between them and your rebel socks that find their way to freedom during the laundry cycle.

    To steal an old m.net valediction, YMMV (your mileage may vary).

    Dandy these parts are in a nice wooden box, not to be used, I just like looking at them.............. Oh I did use the horn button for a few months, then took it off and put it away.................

    That is cool. If they are to be simply display collectors items then ignore my post . . . or don't and laugh at me for being a nerd.
