LOL, you dont NEED one to run the car, it's just a dust sheild. Use a vacuum cap like I recommended.

hah We JUST had this silly thread As said, not needed, it's just a dirt cover. heh I remember someone on, well here I think, who said that those caps are SO important! That with out them, they (any shrader valve) will leak and are DESIGNED that way >_> And the cap is there to prevent that from happening. Poor guy was sincere too, he got flamed and was left a smoldering heap of the man he once was

Use a vacuum cap if you need, just something to cover it. I said it in the other thread though, if you want a nicer one, TPIs used aluminum caps!

I thought the caps were what held the air in your tires...
