Default Where to get a schrader valve cap...

Does anyone know where I can get a schrader valve cap for the LT1's???? I just disconnected my nitrous and I can't find anywhere that has the caps. Also...I can use the valve instead a valve stem to plug up the "schrader" valve as it is technically the same thing, correct?

What do you mean? So I can just run a valve stem into the tube, and not cap it? A normal bicycle tire cap won't fit over the opening, it's too wide. I can't find my original cap that was on the schrader fitting, that's what I basically need. I wouldn't just cap it with a plastic cap w/o a schrader valve installed.

I used something like this. Mine wasn't near this expensive but you get the idea.

It's 3 or 4 one. I can't remember. I thought it was 3. I guess you're right though. I was thinking about the other side of the solenoids.
