I'll take one also. Looks real good.

 

I had the SS hoses built from my friends dad hydraulic shop. They have crimped end with swivel fittings. $90.00. They are expensive but they wont ever fail.
If more people want them I can see if he will discount the price if I get a group purchase. I don't know the fittings?

I will check with the owner of my company if it is all right for me to make you guys some oil caps. It might be two weeks before I can start to make them because I am very busy at work.

Chevy guys do you want CHEVY, or the chevy symbol?

 

Did you mill the thread in for the valve cover or turn that part on the cnc lathe? Been thinking about making one myself and just have not had the time.
Plus they keep shipping out all the good equipment in our showroom.
As soon as I get something set up I have the break the damm machine down so it can ship ot to a customer. Supply and demand I guess.

 

thanks for the info blueo1, i would prefer to have a bowtie on my oil cap or posibly the sts logo would be cool . i am intersted in the stainless return lines, that would stop me from worring about that rubber hose, does yor return just screw with a 90 elbow right into your oil cap? if you can get some discounts on the return line and fittings count me in( pm me if need be or post some info) thanks -tim

 

Sense there is a blind stop in the thread I could not use are CNC lathe. We don't have a live tooling on or CNC lathe.

1st was bottom setup. Cut bottom dia, drilled a tap 1/4-20 in center so I could bolt it to a 1-2-3 block for top setup. Used a slot mill to cut thread and o-ring grove.
2nd Put a 1/4-20 through a 1-2-3- block in to the taped hole in the bottom and timed the thread entry with one of the flats I was holding on to in the vice for bottom setup.
Cut out side grip dia and radius, put top dome on, engraving. Drilled center hold half way through. Couldn't drill all the way through because of 1/4 bolt.
3rd Put in manual lathe to finish drilling center hole and pipe tap.

When I make it in production I will make some soft jaws for the vice. Cut original stock dia and the bottom finish dia in the jaws so I can hold on to it in the bottom and top setup. That way I wont have to put in in the lathe.
I will sell you the cad file of the design. Pretty cheep. Pm me if you are interested.
What brand of CNC do you sell?

 

I might get in trouble if I put the STS on it. Im sure they have a trade mark on it.

 

yeah, dam copyright laws, o well just a thought but a bowtie would rock ! cant wait to get one! thanks

 

Thanks for the offer of the CAD file. I have Surfcam's full blown version on my computer at home and my laptop at work so its not a big deal for me to draw it up.
We sell allot of different brands at work. HAAS is our main line as far as numbers sold and Chiron is what we sell to higher end production facilities.
We usually have six to seven CNCs on the floor for myself and the other engineer to do test cuts, training and other stuff on.
Its a cool job to have. Allot more fun than actually working in a shop with production deadlines and such.
I don't miss working for people who can't do your job or know what it takes to make parts, programs and fixturing.

 

LOOKING FORWRD TO THOSE CAPS!!!

 

Put me down for too
