sorry ...i didn't take pics....... the key is obviously to get a good seal on the endcaps....the valve stem has a rubber washer on the inside...and I had to countersink the hole on the end cap with the air valve in it so i could get the nut on the back side...

My thoughts exactly. Be funny if the cops see it in his trunk and bring in the bomb squad to detonate his tire sensors.
