probably do the power steering one next week, see how bored i get
Nice work mate, stunning finish!
Thats really cool mate. If you get really bored and want to make me up some too that would be great.
Adam (happy to help relieve your boredom :) )
i could do, all i really have to do is cut the blocks, still got the program stored,
just had to do 2 for a supra in work
Well if you could then that would be cool. How much do you think they\'d be?
Adam
il have 1 if theres any goin :yes
Me too! I think you made a mistake posting what you made dean :D
Quote from: Jame5Me too! I think you made a mistake posting what you made dean :D
Or to put it the other way... a little profit :p
Adam
Me too Dean, i havent got a master cylinder cap at all!
cheers Bob
Looks like your days arent going to be boring again :p
Adam
Mmmmmmm, that looks tasty!!!! Thought about putting the Efini swirl in the top? I do like it though. you should nock out a few and put them on the site, looks like a few people would buy them....... especialy if you banging them out on the sly, price would be cheep as chips for us buyers???? How much would you be looking for the 2 caps (brake & power steering)????
Jono
how does £10+ p&p sound for the brake cap cover but if the powersteering one is wanted £20 posted for the pair as it is a fair bit smaller,
i will have to buy the material if i\'m doing a few as we mostly use plastics so it would get noticed.
i thought about doing the efini emblem but will have to see if i can draw accurately first, there is no problem programing the machine to do it once ive drawn it.
They can be done with a smooth top (ie no spiral machine marks on the top surface) but i thought it looked kind of cool.
note this would not include the cap it would only be a cover for the existing cap,
i will knock a few out anyways :D
Dean,
if you want a redrawn Efini logo..... I\'ve got it on my PC here and now!! Let me know what format you would need it in and I\'ll see if I can save it for you. got the Mazda flying M aswell if you want that? and most of the RX7 logos!!!!!
At £20 I wouldn\'t mind a set........ like the efini logo on it though if poss???
Keep me informed,
Jono
sorry should of explained it a bit better
i ve got the efini as a jpeg but need to create it on a 3d modelling package, i would therefore need it as a DWG, DXF, SOLIDWORKS FILE or you could extrude it as solid and put it as an IGES, solidworks part OR Parasolid.
The only way i can do it i believe is to trace the logo with a spline tool but dont know how good i can get it yet, i will try tomorrow.
Mr Flowers,
Just checked and I\'ve saved the Efini logo as a DWG & DXF for you, dont know if I\'ve done it correct but if it works it would save you the time re-drawing!!! Send me your email address and I\'ll send them across for you!!
Jono
I\'d be up for a pair for £20, either with the swirl or the Efini top :)
Adam
my email address is deanflowers2000@yahoo.co.uk
hopefully i will be able to do the efini logo cant see any reason why not now
i best start making then
I\'ll have the pair if they have the efini logo!
Cheers
I would`nt mind a pair too, especially if you could do the efini logo, cheers.

THERE YA GO, it does take more time to put the logo on so there may be a fiver extra on the cost for the logos, making them £25 for the pair posted.
the grub screw is in the wrong place on the top pic so it wont be that obvious on the finished ones, still learning.
I\'ll have a pair - how do you wanna take it. I\'d like the ones with the efini logo on!
cheque would be fine,
JUST A THOUGHT, i think my previous brake cap was a different design, could you please measure the outside diameter and total depth. The one i used to have looked the same as the power steering one but my new one has big grips on it more like the cap cover design.

Cheers

I havent got PMs so if you email me i will send my details in the reply, i can do the toytota no problem if you send a drawing, will put the toyota logo on the top for you no problem.
Hi mate - i\'ve measured my caps. The dimensions i have for them is as follows:
Brake Reservoir Cap - Width: 53mm, Depth: 14mm
Power Steering Reservoir Cap - Width: 44mm, Depth: 18mm
All measurements give or take about 1mm. Sound about right to you?
that what i thought the replacement brake cap i have from mazda is 18mm deep, i will make them for 14mm deep no problem
ive got asp to measure his with a vernier for me so we should be right now
Vernier calipers are probably better: I only used a tape measure!! :p
once uv made 1 send it down so we can c if it fits proply :D
what to see if you know how to use a vernier dont you mean :chat
i hope i can use it,i used that 1 when i rebuilt my engine :rollin
No point testing these caps on a car with no engine, I\'ll test them. ;)
hmm it has an engine, ;)
its just not where it should be :(

I\'m up for 2 pairs for RX-7\'s. Unfortunately I won\'t have my Corolla for a few days, as it\'s away getting some work done.. When I get the Corolla back, I\'ll measure up the caps.
I guess it might be possible to put on the "N" for the Newera Logo? That would look cool, I guess. Better than "Toyota\'s" Logo!
BTW, how many grub screws will you use? Can we have 3 or 4?
Cheers
Miguel
BTW, what\'s your e-mail address, please?
Miguel
deanflowers2000@yahoo.co.uk
sorry
I will have set too please..with efini logo.
will send you the cheque out tomorrow. When will they be ready? and i assume all cap sizes are the same or do you need my measurments?
Cheers
all power steering ones are the same, and 99% of brake ones are too, most brake caps look exactly the same as the power steering one, but some look different and are deeper, i have measurements for both, the most common one is 14mm deep the other is 18mm deep.
Iam fitting them in as and when at the moment, ive only managed to do 3 top halves this morning of the brake caps so i\'m afraid you will have to bare with me, i will intially make 10 sets then another 10 sets which will save me having to set the machine up continuously, i have been asked for about 8 or 9 so far.
it will probably be a couple of weeks at this rate but hope to speed things up

Hi :wave
I\'m not sure, but i should imagine most people are waiting \'til jan to join(iirc)
to get their moneys worth..u r right though... :yes
(waits for flaming!!) :flamed
if you are waiting till Jan don\'t bother :D ... the club carries over membership to the next year for people joining from Sept(I think) onwards ... so get joining :rollin
this thread has caused some discussion in the admin section of the site by the way

I stand corrected! :god LOL
There you go non members....no excuses JOIN NOW!! :yes
This sort of drinking/pocket money has not been allowed before? Whats changed Mike.
Fish
nothing, as I said its being discussed.
Sorry guys, as it has been pointed out selling these on the forum is against the forum T&C\'s As above if you wish to sell these on the forum you will have to sign up as a trader (like billet bitz has)
:flamed :rollin
thread locked pending final decission
OK guys, sorry for the interuption to normal services but as you can appreciate this is a difficult matter to judge, as by selling these caps you are effectively becoming a trader and as you know that is not permitted and is unfair to our existing traders who have paid out to sell products on this forum.
After much discussion we have come to the compramise that we will allow this thread to be reinstated but locked and ask that no more orders be taken.
I hope you can understand our position.
