Does anyone actually use the caps that apparently stop the bolts from loosening?

On my M960's I use blue loctite AND security wire them using the holes in the tops of the bolts. I do this as a result of a bolt loosening.... I was lucky to notice before any damage

Have seen them on a mates bike and thought they looked neat, and easier than lockwire. Can mail you my address if you are desperate to get rid of them 😉

the rotor bolts? Dead good idea, someone sent me some free with some rotor bolrs and then told me how much they were to buy... I'd stick to locktite if I had to buy em!

okay well i shall persist in trying to fit them, it doesn't help that the washers on the bolts don't come off. Tracker I think I have more than I need so once I'm done I'll contact you. z1ppy how much are they?
