[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 177064, member: 302"] I am just preparing to tuck into some humble pie, I hope it tastes good! I was never convinced, or brave enough to risk losing any of my original H.R.D. valve caps, so when I first started using the Neil Videan ET160 replacements, I always made sure that they are fairly tight, I seem to remember when they were first available one of the USPs was that you could have the lettering on the cap always the right way up, as long as the cap was nipped up on the rubber seal, well I was never that worried about all the caps lettering being like a readable page of printed material, and having never got over the loss of the original shallow cap off the kickstart cover (I must have inadvertently left it loose after checking the cable abutment distance) I just can't bring myself to take the risk. I am the same with car and van oil filter canisters, I like to tighten them with gorilla hands, but no tools, and sometimes I do need a tool to remove them, but for me that peace of mind is worth the effort of a tool assisted removal.
