    Smile Available: Godshead-Pilfer Resistant Valve Stem Caps

    I was looking at Griot's Garage (www.griotsgarage.com;1800-345-5789) catalogue and noticed a variety of valve stem caps. I called them and asked for a godshead style. He called his supplier and reported to me that it would cost 36.95/set of 4 caps (P/N 925900 Pilfer-Resistant Valve Stem Caps) plus $50.00 one-time setup charge for an order of 50 sets (4 valves/set).

    Anyone interested in pursuing this (unless someone has done this already)?

    I don't have the time to arrange this deal but am willing to buy two sets.

    John:

    I had thought about this a while back when Mac 'N Marty Enterprises were in full swing. In fact, I have a set on my desk at home, but without the final God's Head inserted.

    The financial commitment for this was pretty big, but the guy I spoke to (like aspirin, they all come from the same place), said he would do a much smaller run than 50 sets. I am willing to pursue this, but Mac 'N Marty Enterprises is teetering on bankruptcy due to certain bad debt and we would only be willing to do "advance sales" or, as we say in my business, the terms would have to be CBD (cash before delivery).

    I'm glad to hear that a number of people are interested.

    1. At least I 've found a better potential source for this item. The current potential source from Martyo's source seems to be less reliable at this time.

    2. We need someone willing to make this transaction. Here are the steps:
    -It will take someone to get a good photo of the godshead. (It doesn't have to be that good since it will be shrunk to a very small size on the valve stem cap.)
    -I'm not sure about the upfront money if any. 50 sets x 36.95= $1847.50 plus $50.00
    -Need a proof valve stem cap (have a sample made for approval) before the 50 sets are made to make sure of the quality. (If you look at the catalogue, maybe the wesite too, the sample brands of caps look very good. Griot is a very upscale catalogue)


    I'l try to get Griot's Garage to offer them with no commitment of money.

    If I can't, I 'd be willing spend up to $50/set for two sets and buy them from somone willing on this website to sell them. I don't have the time to do this.

    Is there anyone willing to go into business of making the deal and stocking them?

    John: I think you missed my off handed attempt at humor here. Mac 'N Marty Enterprises is me and Mac from this site. We have done a number of these things for the site and they have generally been at a loss. Plus, I am a bankruptcy attorney by trade. So, the reference to Mac 'N Marty Enterprises being near bankruptcy....

    Oh, never mind, the men in the white coats are back to take me for my afternoon walk.....

    I certainly did miss your humorous comment. But I got it now.
