Unfortunately my valve caps on my MM04 keep disappearing. Is there a specific stock marauder replacement out there I can buy or do I just put on any generic chrome caps and call it a day? I personally prefer to keep everything looking original as much as possible so if there is a good source for replacements please let me know.

Also on a side note I called around my area for some rear tire replacements and was told Cooper no longer makes the MM04 rear tires anymore just the front. I have only bought Coopers since I have owned this car does anyone have a suggestion for what brand rear tires to get since Cooper does not make them anymore?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same issue as you. I get the generic chrome caps. They look the same. Have you checked www.Tirerack.com (http://www.Tirerack.com) or www.Discounttiredirect.com (http://www.Discounttiredirect.com) for the Coopers.

OK, I will probably do the same with the caps then.

As for the websites I will look into that since all I have done is call local tire shops in my area.

Thanks for the reply.

I had my valve stem caps lifted at a MM.net drag racing event .
I switched out the drag radials and after the racing concluded they were on someone's car.
OK, I will probably do the same with the caps then.
