Friends,
I'd like to buy some fancy schpancy valve caps (finger buttons) for my MW 6450 Baer model. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Also, for my Wessexs.

Re: Custom Valve Buttons
I've never done it, but I've heard that (white) m.o.p. (possibly, those already installed in finger buttons...??) can be DYED with alcohol-based colored dyes.
