Aluminum oil filler neck
Im wondering if anybody knows where I could get an aluminum oil filler neck that ISNT Re-speed.
Specifically I'm looking for somewhere that will: A) actually send me the product after I pay for it B) answer a phone call or email a month after I have paid for it and it still hasnt been shipped out C) not require me to file a PayPal claim Thanks

I have a zeeshan oil filler neck, but I don't think they are made any longer.
Perhaps someone could replicate it? I could look into to doing so but I am not sure as to the time frame. probably not soon at all due to finishing up my custom thermostat housing adapter.... which came out WAY bigger than I had hoped. Just trying to be honest.

If you could get a price and a time frame for you to replicate it I would probably be interested
Edit: except not the timeframe part because you already said you were unsure lol

I am going to be starting on making a new version soon. I don't like the slightly imperfect fit of the flange on my current one.

I will be doing a group buy. Probably out of stainless, but might be aluminum. depends on availability of parts.

Update.
I have all the materials. Trust me. These things are going to be trick!! I took the existing design that's out there and made some realreally nice cosmetic improvements. Plus, being made out of stainless, they can be coated or polished.

Were you able to find a pre-made cap/threaded neck? It's what I have used in the past and it dropped the price significantly.

None that I liked the look of.
So I am having some made up that look badass. I know the price is a bit higher than most, but it will be completely worth it. I am also making sure the factory cap works. If there is enough interest, I may be able to have some aluminum caps made up.

Cool, I did not notice the stainless part- I wish I had clear coated the aluminum on mine- ended up pretty dirty after a few track days.

Prototype is done. I partnered up (with a yet to be mentioned rotary company) to get costs back down to be able to hit the retail mark of just over $200.
There should be much more information available next week. There will be a large quantity available. These things look sweet!!

^^correct. I hope it doesn't deter people that I partnered up, but I just knew there would be more interest than up front capital I could supply. So we found a sweet spot in cost/quantity of the 4 different machined parts.

Interested in this as well. I need to look into doing an oil catch can setup so this would be one mod that would go along it.

Is this a cosmetic upgrade or is there an issue with stock pieces? I ask because I am a FNG on the FD so please be gentle.
