    New Aluminum Oil Caps

    So I started on a 2nd batch of aluminum oil caps.

    I did a slightly different approach on these ones. After milling them, I got them polished, then sent them for anodizing, so it would give them a slightly cleaner finish.



    Here is the difference between brushed finish, and polished finish.



    (Yes the blue is slightly different color, however they will be matched in the final run. Plus the MP3 one is slightly worn out from being thrown around).

    Again, these 4 were just tests runs.

    I'm getting the other 85 back from being polished any day now. I then will be taking them to get anodized, and they will soon be back to get engraved.

    If you are interested in them, and perfer the brushed finish, please let me know, as I can still brush the top surface after, to give it the brushed look. Please also post up what color you may be interested in, so I have a better average of what colors to get anodized. Thoughts and comments also appreciated!

    Gujustud,

    The caps look great. I'd be interested in a polished, red anodized one. Thanks.

            Is there a chance these caps would fit 2nd gen Proteges? If there is, then I would be interested in a polished one with no engraving. Thx.

                I'm not sure if they fit the 2nd gen, but I wouldn't see why not. They fit the probe engine, and also the mx-3 engine. If you get a chance, see with another 3rd gen if his fits, and if it does, then you're set .

                        I "do" believe that I can get them anodized in green. I'll double check tomorrow.

                        I still haven't gotten them back from polishing so there is still time before I send them in for anodizing.

                        If you're interested, let me know, and I'll get one anodized in green for you.

                              Just so you know, I'll be getting back to everyone here. The anodizing place has had the caps longer than expected. I'm going to give them a shout as they said they would call me last friday, when they would be ready, but I haven't heard anything.
