steering stem nut cap and rear wheel nut cap

Post by oldgreyandslow »

Any ideas where to get any of these? No doubt like most others mine are long gone into the weeds somewhere.

I found them on Lings but £16 and just under £9 respectively seems a bit too much to me, are there alternative aftermarket options?

Cheers

I ordered the steering cap from Rick O yesterday. Patience is a virtue I ought to learn!

If you've got the wheel nut cap though.............

I use black plastic bungs in the stem that you can buy at any hardware store. A couple of bucks for a pack of 4! :grin:
