Does anyone know where I can get some aftermarket caps from? They are 2.5" diameter caps, so the stock SVT ones wont fit. I appreciate all your feedback.

I then used polish to clean em up. My next goal is to sand em, paint em silver, and then the center piece black. I'm curretnly running em w/ no caps. They do look awesome though.

I was thinking of doing that to my Millie Miglia Cellos by having a black circle made and another circle made in silver but have the SVT cut out of it and laid over the black circle Just a thought though.

Just let me sort out the engine trouble first. SVT with CE light mod and a camera mount. Naughty Pictures Why yes it is true, I am on my third engine.
