When you get a new cap holler at me. I'm looking to make these out of billet Aluminum, just need a good sample. Would be more than willing to pay shipping and a few bucks. I'll even give you first shot at my prototype. Also looking for a stator cover.

There are already billet caps out there that fit the KDX. I even had some info on one of them in a thread on here and over on ThumperTalk. I can't remember off hand what I got it for as it wasn't listed for the KDX but it is the same cap. Search for "outlaw" and it should come up as that was the brand I bought.

I had a cracked gas cap and replaced it with an outlaw billet cap. Looks sweet to me. Got it off fleebay for $29.00 free shipping.
In dog beers, I've only had one.

Thanks guys, no reason to duplicate then. How about KIPS cover, Slotted side cover, clutch cover? Just getting practice on MasterCam X. Any other projects needed?

Get a hold of me thru e-mail, matt@qualitymachine-wa.com. I will need a sample piece to do a hardness test on.

I don't think so! Besides, I have never had a problem with my KIPS valves. :boogie: I just would like to see some quality replacements available so I can buy a set to stash away.
