I`d be kinda worried about metal filings getting into my oil shocked . Surely thats one of the reasons why most oil filler caps are plastic now,that and cheapness of course.

Still,it looks cool

I would have thought there could be the possibility of filings when you screw the metal cap into the metal cam cover. I take it that the cap is made of aluminium alloy confused

Well, I have both a shiny fuel cap and a tartan flat cap, so...no laugh




(the flat cap ISN'T mine by the way, it's been in the scarf and gloves draw for about 10 years. It's not my style, but I do sometimes don it for a laugh at parties etc. )



Coopless!

I erm, slept with my oil cap when I got it blush I was just admiring the single milled craftsmanship and I fell asleep.

The next day, my missus came round, whipped the covers back, and there it was, in all it's quality machined glory shocked

She told all my mates at the pub that night. I still get stick now frown


But it was a quality bit of machining tho love

One very smart and tasteful engine bay. It would be perfect with a clean and semi polished inlet manifold IMHO.

Great work Cowboy
