Default Valve stem caps

Anyone have the Piedmont 712 USA caps. I might try to get a NCRS top flight for the car. Just to see if the car can get it.

Would it actually say that on the cap somewhere? I think I still have my originals.

As far as I know my 93 has the original valve stems and caps. The previous owner had the car from 93 and had never done anything as far as wheels, tires ect. I have to assume they are original and they are marked DILL 627. I didnt know they went this far with NCRS but I guess original is original. It is possible that they were changed from year to year so maybe others can check to see what theirs have marked on the Caps.

It says Piedmont 712 USA on the cylindrical part. I wish I could help you by loaning mine to you but I don't have them either. However I have seen them so I can say that they do exist.
