Has been done before.
You can buy caps - v. expensive.
Or drill and tap the original caps to fit Schrader (sp?) valves. I'm sure someone did this on this site but I can't find the topic

Hi outerwater,
Off Road Only do a set, they call them Pro Bleeder Kit..includes the valves, drill and tap with instructions. Maybe worth a look. Currently £23-36 + VAT.

Thanks guys bit far to have them sent as im in Australia.
Really just wanted to know if it could be done and was more concerned where to put them but looking at the caps they are the same thickness all around so i dont suppose it would matter.
Cheers.

Ive fitted them to mine, will take some details and pics and post them later.
Think its something like an M5 Thread with a 8mm gap on top.
