[V8] Spark Plug Covers

[Scott Simmons]

I currently have standard metric bolts in there.  I was thinking of 
getting those little plastic covers that are used for license plate 
bolts.  It's a two piece system.  One's a lipped washer that goes behind 
the head of the bolt then a black plastic cover snaps on top.  It could 
look almost OE very easily.

Even without over tightening them ... or even removing them that many times ... the new heads are falling apart like the old ones.  When it comes time to do this again I'll solder some sort of top to the cap that will look somewhat acceptable and yet not break off ...
