Oil caps with a hex top
« on: October 24, 2013, 12:09:26 pm »
I watched my dad check and add a little oil to his engine at dirt nationals using the OEM oil cap. WHAT A P.I.T.A.!

So my question is:  Is there a want\need\demand for some replacement caps with a hex top? Or is their enough of them out there from China?


I started to work on something for my dads engine guy but it seems to have lost steam at the moment.
Here's where they are so far:

These were meant to have a thru hole and a fitting on the hex side.

Let me know and we'll see how this progresses from there.

Silly Tool Maker wants to make race car parts better, stronger, CHEAPER (in kit form) than the OEM! ( now he's trying to be a fabricator too! )

These were meant to be used as a breather from the oil cap to a catch can.

Honestly, I see no need for this, and it seems like it would be a huge pain having to use a socket to remove. I have never had a problem with the stock one, and it is very easy to remove by hand.
