*NEW* Classic Valve Caps!!!

[Xmagterror]

Love it or hate it this is my version of a valve cap for a classic valve.

The hole in the back if for a burst disc to make these safe. caps are side drilled to use a spanner wrench to install them.

note: the uninstalled cap has not yet been drilled.....the one pictured on the valve is the 1st piece off the mill.

Sweet!

[blackdeath1k]

Looks pretty sweet to me.

[Mr. Red]

neat

[BLachance75]

I like it, any idea on price

[Ando]

Why the hole for the spanner wrench? Hand tight should do it

I agree. But, it's probably not a bad idea to have just in case. I personaly would tighten it by hand and use the spanner to make it easier to remove.

Especially if you leave it in the valve when you install the burst disc with a wrench.

Looks great, when can we buy them! :)

Will they come complete with burst disk?

[Xmagterror]

when i get them done i will post them in the dealers section. Yes they will come with the burst disk. As for price im not sure yet.....gotta get qty. pricing on burst disks

go low pro

[blackdeath1k]

I like them burst disks. Always wondered why no one made a flush disk.

Those I might be able to live with. Still feel they are unnecessary though.

oh ya, nice!

[steve_81]

Looking forward to these!

I like it, but no way to take that flat surface off and just be rounded?

[GoatBoy]

Typical burst discs seat up on one end against a surface with a hole in it. I'm sure that end is fine.

However, the housing for the burst disc can't be screwed all the way in. For instance, that GA burst low profile design doesn't look like it can be screwed all the way in to this cap, given how long the threaded portion is.

Might want to think this one through.

[Sk8ermog]

Very interested in seeing some of these produced. I need one for a project I'm working on. I would love to see the look of one with just a flat round back like the back of a X-Valve with an allen wrench hole to help get it off. If a burst disk is really needed as a safety feature then I guess it would be good to have one that doesn't look like the brass square ones on tanks.

[Ando]

I would like to see some tooless RT valve caps

[TimmyJay]

Did this fizzle out? Not much chatter from XMT lately.

[Xmagterror]

I was on vacation for the last week. The valve caps are done....Just need to get them clear anodized and order the burst disks and orings. I may ship some raw for people that want custom colors. They cannot be used raw because they are 7075 and will corrode.

The machine shop is in full swing. making an adapter rail for a guy to mount a chord body on a dye grip frame.

[TimmyJay]

good news. Any time for a custom piece?

[TimmyJay]

Up - looking forward to something new in the dealer section.

[TimmyJay]

itch'n for some action :confused:

Any thoughts on an aluminum classic front section? Oh how I would love to send it all in for an anno, but powder coat may have to do.

[Xmagterror]

I have about 30 of the caps done. Just need to drill + tap them for the burst disks. Really busy with some other projects so it might be a month or so.

[Sk8ermog]

Does that include the annoed ones? I'm looking to get one that is raw.

[TimmyJay]

Any updates? A month is coming up. Will it be another month? Just trying to judge when I will be able to send eveything off for powdercoat/anno.

[TimmyJay]

Any chance you would sell the one that is completed already?

[Xmagterror]

The plan is to send the valve caps out for anodizing with some other parts im working on.
The prototype has a 1/8 NPT port in it and is not for sale....made for testing purposes

[TimmyJay]

Hoping the other projects are going well :D

[TimmyJay]

Gotta keep the thread fresh:dance:

[Xmagterror]

LOL...Ive got a bunch of stuff going to the anodizer soon.

[TimmyJay]

Can't believe that I am the only one itching to get one of these.

[Xmagterror]

HaHa...sorry, they have been on the back burner for a long time now.

[keiko_819]

dang, got my sidewinder and classic valve ready for a cap.

[Xmagterror]

I will have them available by spring

[Sk8ermog]

My pump with sidewinder is also at the ready. Looking forward to spring.... or sooner ;)

[BEEFYDAN]

Are we still looking at spring for these?

[TimmyJay]

If Christmas starts in July, then Spring starts with Christmas? Makes sense to me!

[Runamok]

Do the lo-pro's vent out the hole? Right in front of my face? Time for new underwear? I like the cap, I'd just use a side venting disc. The Fruit of the looms will still suffer but I wouldn't suffer JATO assisted mask removal.

You very well may be onto something there timmyjay

Keeping the dream alive.
