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.
