Sportmax 002 centercaps

[Forrest]

From what I've read no one has found good replacement caps that fit over our grease caps in the front. I modified mine to fit. It's nothing that special but I figured someone might want to see, so I took some pics.

 

Step 1: holesaw.

 

Step 2: I put clear tape on the front, and poured some old (syrupy) POR15 in.

 

Step 3: I wanted a somewhat textured look, so I pulled the tape off before it had dried in the front. If you wanted it to be perfectly flat, all you'd have to do is let it dry with the tape on.

 

Step 4: I put a bunch of epoxy resin to make sure the centercap stickers wouldn't come off, and put the center stickers on. (They are centered, it's just the angle of the photo)

 

Step 5: On the car:

 

I was originally going to use JBweld to try and make a new surface on the front, but it was too thick to evenly settle at the bottom. I got the idea to use POR15 after I let some of this older stuff dry on a wooden applicator stick. It pooled out and it made a surface as tough as nails. I couldn't crack or break it and it was fused to the stick. Like the label says, "WARNING: POR15 only comes off with TIME."
