Billet oil filler cap

Any of our sponsors carry something like this with maybe a powerstroke logo?

It seems like I saw one once but cannot find it.

Tom

Hmmm, that would be a nice option for the oil system blow off line. I'll be watching!

I have one that I got off of eBay. It has a Powerstroke logo on and looks fairly nice.

Dave

DJ's Performance had some really nice billet fuel filter caps made at one time and I believe the selling price was around $70. With these being much smaller, they should be cheaper. David, you are having those new items made, get a price on some of these. I would like some billet engine accessories. If I can't go fast, I might as well look good sitting still.:D

Famous Chev line

If it dont go..................Chrome it :D

hey i was thinking the same thing.

hey i was thinking the same thing.I guess I could just have some made? I wonder what the demand would be on them?:poke:

Sure, after I already drilled holes!! - Oh wait mine's in my VC. :doh:

Yeah, I'd like a chrome one though, like Tom posted..

ill buy one sure i got about 3 others to purchase one two.

I'll look into it! It won't rachet like the stocker though and it would be billet.

Nigel, it can be polished! ;)

I think that one is just a cover for the stock piece so it ratchets. At least some of the other ones just like that I spotted do. I like the ratchet part as that lets you line it up square if you want.

Funny you should ask, (we;))just ordered a CNC mill and have a line on a CNC lathe. Plenty of new bling to come as well as hard core parts.
Did I mention I hate waiting on machine shops.

Tubzz has the one you're looking for Tom. I'm pretty sure he got it off ebay, but I haven't seen it forsale there in a few years.

That is nice to hear. You should be able to produce some nice items with a CNC mill and lathe. Will it be a small detailed parts type machine (something that could produce small parts with threads)?

How small you talking?

how about a fuel filter cap for the superduty

How small you talking?

I don't really need anything, just curious. Something like your machined stock fuel pressure valve that you currently sell or will it be for items like the exhaust housing adapter?

Both.

just ordered a CNC mill and have a line on a CNC lathe. Really?:poke:

Really?:poke:
ya, figured you would find that interesting;)

Very interesting..................

Both.

Cool

Now all you need is a 4in capacity mandrel tubing bender and you could make custom turbo mounting and intercooler piping kits.

Really?:poke:

I see a special relationship forming here for big oil adapter plates.

David that sounds great and I bet there a few cool parts that lots of people would be interested in. That reminds me I have one of those billet 7.3 filter caps here I need to find a home for.

Tom

He just needs some great CAM software :D

I see a special relationship forming here for big oil adapter plates.LOL! Those would be too easy. I would need other parts!:D

It is good to have friends Mike. How about a rapid prototype machine too.

Tom

LOL! Those would be too easy. I would need other parts!:D


Damn and I thought I had it all figured out...lol

I think I have around 50 of those blocks in stock, so it would be a few months before they are needed. But, I could use some other custom parts!

How small you talking?
Typical smallest cnc chucker or lathe would usually have a minimum of 6" swing and collets down to near 0" Don't know what your getting but I'm sure it will do everything that would be needed for diesel related custom products.

And I hear ya, I hate waiting on other shops to finish my products too!

I'm guessing that is your stuff Mike. Personally, we do Pro-E, Solid Works, and MasterCAM. But heh, that's just me. I'm not familiar with this product.

They are so sweet. Can't live with out the 3-D printer now :D.

The hyperMILL software runs "Inside" ProE, SolidWorks, Inventor and ThinkDesign. Design your part and machine on the spot, no exporting or loss of true associativity to your parametric model. Make a parameter change on the model and hyperMILL knows and will update the toolpath.

What 3D printer are you using?

Dimensions SST-1200.

Have Stereolith across the street.

I'm looking at SLS machines now.

Are you sales or coder? Please PM me a Gov't sales rep POC

Dimensions SST-1200.



Hey, I know a "little" about those printers.;):D

How do you like it?

Love it we have an assortment of Dimensions now 4 or 5 I think.

How is it that you know of them Shay?

Sorry, I don't know how I missed your reply....:doh:

I answered your PM though!:D

And to answer you here, I used to sell the Dimensions. They are great.

When do you get your new toy?

Tom

When do you get your new toy?

Tom

1st week in May.

So are we making any cool stuff yet like I was looking for?

What the F David, no Powerstroke stuff first?

Ford guys would rather talk smack than play with their trucks:doh:
We are predominantly a Ford shop that makes 50% of it's income from Dodge owners, you do the math:poke:

You gotta have a some early junk until you get the knack of it.

Come on David, get on the ball with that CNC and get some PSD stuff made!!!

You have to do what you have to do. Even if it meant making little parts for the EDC (every day carry) guys.

By the way, nice work on the new machine.

Too bad aluminum and steel are so outrageous now or you could put out some cheap little items.

Do you have anyone local that will do heat treating, tumbling and bead blasting or stone washing of small steel items?

Is there really a demand for Billet caps? If so, I can look into it?:shrug:

I am interested in a cool one.

Tom

I guess it would depend on the price and what you had made. I bought one of DJ and Vivians limited billet fuel filter screw on tops. It was a very nice billet item. I can post pic's if you have not seen one.

I'll get an estimate. Might need a minimum order of 50 though.

Thanks Joey.


Tom

I'll get an estimate. Might need a minimum order of 50 though.

What are you thinking you will have made or try to get made? Maybe make a new thread with 5 or 6 items and have everyone vote on what they would like or buy.

Good idea QtrHorse! Let us know what you find out Joey.
