Abstract
A cap system for enclosing a metallic bolt fastener extending through a structure which includes a first securement mechanism positioned about a periphery of a bolt head of the metallic bolt fastener. The cap system further includes a cap member which includes a sidewall having an inner surface which defines a cavity dimensioned to receive the bolt head and defines a second securement mechanism complementary configured to engage the first securement mechanism positioned about the periphery of the bolt head. The cap system further includes an end of the sidewall of the cap member which defines an opening which provides the bolt head access into the cavity.
