rearend oil filler cap
« on: July 08, 2015, 10:16:50 AM »
Has anyone tried a different cap on the rearend? Yeah I know you can use a washer on the slot but I'd like a better way.

There are after market caps available...some with hex heads. Bet a search would turn up a source, and some pics. I'll go check in a few...


Edit: Well, my search turned up zilch. I know I saw hex head plugs somewhere, but cannot find them now. Searched for diff plugs, diff caps, rear end plugs, final drive plugs, final drive caps...zero. Did see references to a cap sold by Murph (Murph's Kits), but could not find it on his web site.

Maybe somebody smarter than me can help. :(

Here's what I use.



We had a group buy on these a LONG time ago. I think they came from http://projektd.com/index.php but I can't find them on their website.

Edit:

Found 'em.   http://projektd.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_39&products_id=154

If you get the ProjektD skip the green anodized. It fades.   ::)
I put a silver on the final drive and green on the oil filler.

Order lots of items to make the cost of shipping worth it!!   :o

If you want order other items from ProjektD I recommend this one:

http://projektd.com/product_info.php?products_id=158&osCsid=38b639cf97c288fbd7e823b120491c72

I didn't like it at first as it cannot be seen during the bright day, now that I commute everyday in dark or twilight I really love this one:

Thanks guys appreciate the effort. I've ordered stuff from them before and don't remember seeing them. Guess I got CRS.
