toyo oil cap fits as well

 

Do you have them? Made by APC? Made for Toyota, but fits the Gen. 3 Proteges?

 

Ouch only 2 treads? I've taken the exact pitch of all the threads so if anything there will be 1 or 2 more threads, but non less...

I'm just getting the first one back on monday, to make sure it fits, then I'll be pumpin around 100 out...

 

Well i got my oil cap from ebay for $13 USD.

can't beat 13 bucks

 

Okay maybe more than 2 but I know the first couple don't connect. I don't think it is tapered as that would be silly. The cap locks securely so I'm not worried. No leaks yet.

As for yours, you are going to have a pic to show the style? I like the one I have for the shape at the top compared to that on eon ebay in the other post.

Also, any info on the rad cap?

 

Is there a rubber O-ring in these aluminmum ones? I'm guessing there has to be...

No pictures yet, but similar to the Spoon ones.. it'll look better than the ebay one...


saided18: did you not have to pay $18 (for shipping as well?)

 

Yup O-ring included.

 

Now that I look at your picture skyhawk (musta missed it)... my design is quite similar, although the drop in the middle won't be as deep, due to the logos, don't want them squashed tiny in the middle.

I'm just in the process of designing the actual logo, and well, need all of your opinions, cuz this is whats going in your car (unless you want something diff)...

For the PROTEGE logo (ie: Sedan owners)) I've come down to these designs (trying to copy that off the back of my car):



And for the MP5 logo (ie: Protege5 owners) I've come down to these designs... (don't really know what to copy, I think I've only seen the badges on the side of cars once)



PLEASE tell me your input, as its the only way I know what you peeps will like!!! The more input I get the faster I'll get on these. I've been really busy in the shop (I now work there full time!)... but I'm gonna have time HOPEFULLY next week, I really want to get on these, cuz they are gonna look sweet... Thanks!

 

Wow, I like the upper MP5 logo. Is that what would be in the dperession of the oil cap?

 

Blue for me too!

 

Yeah plus shipping it was 18 bucks. but the oil cap was $13. like a said 13 bucks. better then the stock on. i'm prob going to get a new some in the future right now i'm just a little broke. just bought my autoexe grill, my sport 20 badges and some PS2 games. lol oh well

 

You got it.

2 ways

1) engraving, then anodizing
2) anodizing, then engraving (eg: cap is red, but logo is silver)...

saided18: true dat. Can't beat $13. Not even I can lol, maybe if I pump out 5000 like these big companies do...

 

I like the lettering of the second Protege on the list. Put me down for one oil cap in blue and one battery tie down.

How long until you are ready to ship??

 

Lol, as soon as possible. I really want to start on the oilcaps, but so busy with work as it is, I can't almost be bothered to stay there longer! lol, but it should slow down the next few days so I can start on them. I'd like to have them ready to ship end of next week, or the week after.

 

Please put me down for a blue cap, with the first design for the MP5. BTW, will you consider doing a hard anodize (i.e. seal with sodium dichromate) too? TIA.
