I splashed DANA! well kinda

[superdave013]

RTJas posted some pics of his pimp gas caps that are on his new Lavey. Here's Jason's set up. I think it's a DANA part. Well they have one on their web site that looks like it anyway.

Now I like that and wanted something kinda like it but not an exact spash. And that bezel is to large to fit in my space.
I already had the caps so this is what I came up with. I used 6 bolts instead of 12 and made it as small as I could. I got a little fancy with the inside so it wouldn't hold water in it. I also ported the caps because that's the vent for my tanks. They only had one 3/16" hole for a vent. Now it has 12 of them.
These should look pretty pimp when they get polished and anno.

Hey Dave,
Have you ever thought of having a billet poured that would let you plow out an entire hull using your mill?
Fantastic work, by the way.

Do you still have the old flip top ones ??? If you do, I would like to buy them. I have a collection of them.

Great work Dave

RiverDave:
SuperDave, can you explain the "porting" a little more? I see some holes in the bottom of the Cap, but I can't see where they go.
Those ports are the vents for the fuel tank? So you know longer have to run a seperate Vent?
RD Here you go Dave. It did only have on hole. And it has an o ring that covers half of it. O ring not shown for your viewing pleasure.

No, they were changed before I got it. But the holes were left behind!
Tom, I would need a tad larger mill to do that. But I'ed like to!
