T center caps

[corymc]

How about some center caps for t wheels? Like with the grey power 6 logo like the caps for the gn. Or something new, prices for some t centers are outta control.

Amen to that!... I can't believe nobody makes a copy of these.. The Gn center's are cheap!.. what's the deal with asking $400 for plastic caps? :biggrin:

Here you go Ray..

It doesn't seem like a hard part to make although I'm not sure on the logo. I need to locate a part to get a better idea on how doable it is and what a part cost would be. So let me sleep on it and do some researching.


Ray

PS, I'm guessing no one like Kirban's is making these parts?

It's cool, Westside posted a picture.


So are these caps grey or black original?

Anyhow, the only real issue with making these caps is the logo. People are getting picky about their logos.

Also, how many people would be interrested in these clone caps?

 

[corymc]

they are black with grey logos

Ray.. they are black.. I would be in for sure! Is the logo a copyright thing?

I just want some caps. I just found a pic of what i was talking about on Buickgn.com I would just like some caps that would work in the t wheel and put this logo on

I figured they was black but wanted to double check. Anyhow, I'm sure that stuff is copyrighted but not 100% sure. It may not be a big issue seeing how others sell stuff with the logo. I could always throw the logos in free when someone buys some caps. That way I'm not making money off the logo Anyhow, this isn't something I can do over night. I first need to land a center cap to make a mold with. It will take a few weeks after that to start producing the caps.

I have a few pics. Maybe these will help.

 

[SVORay]

Is that metal inside the caps or plastic?

Sorry I've yet to see one up close.

 

[corymc]

mine are plastic

The inside is just chrome plated plastic. I suppose that is to give the tabs some strength and flexibility. The tabs will break fairly easy if not careful.

 

[SVORay]

Thanks


I may be able to use a plastic thats more flexable to help cut down on breakage. Just need to experiement with and see if it will work.

I can see someone making the caps without the logo, then gettting a decal for the centre. If you can reproduce all the other stickers for the TR, I am sure there are few out there that could duplicate the logo part in a good quality stick on.

THAT CAP will work in the T rim..I have it on mine.....

I've located a T-type center cap and hopefully it will be here next week. Then I can sit down and get to work on this part. I'm hoping I can start producing parts in 2-4 weeks. I'm looking into the logo in the mean time. I really want these parts to be plug and play.
