The brass came last night,i had some time to spin one cap hope you like it. :-*

I know you like this style winged gas cap as well as I do and probably many others so you might give a design like this some thought.
It would definitely look good in brass on a 2240.

i second that brass would be awesome and we (the USA) need to support other countries besides NZ --- i would/will be your first customer if you do "winged gas caps" --- just do it !!! ;)
Hell yes it would look nice in brass.But can i do that ???
Mike
I haven't got one of them but is it made out of two parts. One part with the wings that bolts to the other?

might be kinda difficult with just a lathe but given enough time a file could do it ,even a dremel . i'm sure whatever you do will come out great
I'd be interested in a brass copy of the original :)

Thanks eric im sure it can be done as you said. :-*

Might just be the paint texture but it almost looks cast, then finnished on a lathe.

I like the looks of it Mike. You did a very good job. :-*
Looks great Mike, you almost have me changeing my mind about having brass bling on a gun! Almost! Ahh, what the heck, I'm gonna do the next one in brass! Break out the shades 8)
Thanks guy's :-* Im having lots of fun with the lathe i just finished another tube cap will take pics soon. :-*
Mike
looks pretty good? :-* 8)
another cap :-*

Carl,
That is a great idea for a brass winged cap like that. That would look great. 4 wings might look better then 3. I bet someone could be coaxed into making them on a CNC. That way there would be a good supply. :-*
