Serious... I found a tapered screw, ... that tapped in snug, without boogering the the outer of the brass nipple...
Perfect... completely reversible, and fully secure... then I covered the screw with a rubber nipple for cosmetic dressing...
I tried several rubber covers, and they all seem to rot away after a period of months...
so, close it good... Wink

...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

Yep....sometimes ghetto be good...

Here's what I'm rocking on my bike:

I squirted some RTV into the tube before folding it. The tube was the OEM vacuum tube.
