Brock,

When you first started posting, I assumed you were like a lot of us-- a dreamer thinking this whole thing would be cheap and easy. In the course of a few short weeks, my mind is completely changed. You sir, are the man.

The cap pictured above is excellent. If you don't mind me asking, what is your plan to keep from burning up the internals of the cap when you weld it? I've always been a giant fan of this particular modification and I think it ought to be able to get done for less than the zillions of dollars it costs to just buy one.

Also: is this the pedal assy. you are looking to replicate?

Oh my God !.................Lightening holes ?  There's a special person on here that has a fetish for them so be careful !     Use plenty of them !    You don't want him to rear his head and blow fire out of his lightened fire nostrils  (or is that nozzle's ?). Good work Brock !..........Bruce

Ahhh, woke me up you did! 

Make them big all the way across. And it's looking great, Brock!

I have known men who could weld tin foil together. Unless you're one of them I suspect you'll have a problem welding dissimilar metals of dissimilar thickness without blowing holes in the cap. (I'm guessing that the car is not stainless) I'll sing your praises when you get it done. Post a photo.

I seem to remember that the stamping for the handle was made in a T fashion and riveted to the top.

Best of luck

Walka, Todd Thanks guys...

Well it went about as well as figured. Whatever crap metal this cap is made of does NOT like to be welded. I cleaned off the galvanized coating before hand hoping to get it good.

Well after much cleaning up and some cussin here is the result........20190620_110619
