I have also got a pair of union jack door pins (the little locking knob that comes up when you unlock the door) Has anybody fitted these please!!! I am unsure as to whether the fitted door knobs will just unscrew and these will screw on in place. Hubby is at the ready with his pliers ready to pull or unscrew them, but I dont want him to do it and ruin them!!! Anybody know or know of somebody that has changed them,  thanks lovelies | ||

Can't really help on that front, BUT regarding your valve caps-Keep an eye on them! There are a lot of light fingered people out there!

I know you can with some of the chrome ones. If they do, then just put some glue on and et voila! Image: http://www.scnm.net/ e107_plugins/ coppermine_menu/ albums/userpics/ 48894%255B1%255D.jpg | ||

If I want to put them on I have to take the whole door panel off as the knobs are welded on . Think this is going to have to wait, im not very good at stuff like that!  | ||
