Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

I am pretty sure that there are other aftermarket dogbones you can buy from other Subaru models that fit the SVX...

Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

I think you could sell a boatload of battery tie-downs, steve!

That looks pretty sweet. I'd be in for one of those!

How about oil caps? Would that be hard to do? People love keeping oil in their motors. You could always just buy blank aluminum ones, and cut the SVX or SUBARU or H-6 or BOXER-6, or...something into it.

+1 for battery tie downs and oil caps, IF they are reasonably priced. Don't have to be super cheap, but reasonable.

Billet oil caps are cheap on Ebay. I doubt that he could produce them for even close to their price considering the time it would take to do single caps versus straight run CNC production.

See pic--billet cap approx $10 on Ebay when you catch them right.

That looks very cool Lee.

So maybe Steve could buy a batch of billet caps off eBay, and use the CNC machine to cut the Alcyone horns or the SVX logo into the top of the cap??

Why reinvent the wheelbarrow?

That would definitely work if the metal on the top is thick enough to machine the horn emblem.

Here is the Ebay site for the plain caps. The price is less than I paid at $6.99 with free shipping, apparently.

Good idea on the oil cap. I just ordered one to see how it goes.

Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

That's exactly what I was going to suggest for oilcaps. Just buy blank ones and put your logo in it!

Funny, I mentioned that already a few posts ago!!

Re: CNC machined parts for SVXes coming

Theres plenty of oil caps out there, I'd like to see a cap for the power steering or brake reservoir to get rid of the blinding yellow ones that ruin an otherwise dressed up engine pay.
