Lost the valve stem caps
« on: November 14, 2005, 20:18:46 »
Ok, so I did the very thing the Haynes manual tells you not to...I lost all but three of the valve stem caps when I took the cylinder head off.  Found 2 of them later in the grass near where I cleaned it up but with no idea which stems they came from and three still missing I need to get hold of another set.  I don't see them on Paddock's list of parts.  Does anyone know where I can get a set? I don't suppose they're included in a head gasket set are they?
Cheers

Craddocks have them listed, part no is LJC100270, 39p each.

When I did my head gasket I got them from main dealer, they were 48p each, but my local parts department is just too convenient

Also, 9p difference on each cap doesn't come close to the cost of P&P when ordering online. I'll try my main dealer first then.
