go to the dollar store and buy some dice...

then buy some valve covers or use the ones that you already have on your bike or car.

get the dice in a clamp. point the number 1 upwards. you can use this to get a perfectly centered hole.

get your drill ready- if you have a drill press this will be easier..

I used a 3/8 inch bit to drill it. try test drilling into a piece of wood, then try the cap into it..

once you are satisfied with the size, drill into your dice. you are going to have to drill as far as you can without going through. drill small amounts at a time and test fit, or use the depth indicator on your drill press.

Tight Fit?

if its a tight fit, as it was for me, you can enlarge it with a dremel, or equivalent grinding bit. (or pretty much anything as the dice is pretty soft.)

Glue

once your sure you've got a good a fit, get out the glue. I used gorilla glue, and it worked great. any thick glue will work (ie dont use crazyglue/ superglue)

put a small mount of glue around the bottom of the cap, so when you push it in, the glue gets scraped upwards, over the rest of the cap.

Let It Dry

let it dry, and then mount it on your ride..

make some more for your other wheels.

you're done
