Anyone Have a Metal Lathe?

[PonyKiller87]

Im looking to make or have some one make some Aluminum Center caps for my rims. Nothing fancy just a 1/8" thick, by about 1 1/2" diamater disk. Anyone think they can help me out or know of a shop that could?

1.500 + - what? exactly 1.500"? I'll see what we got at work

I dont have an exact dimension right now, I have to go out and measure them some time this weekend or something. Here is a picture of what Im trying to do. I lost one of the original IROC center caps and I dont want to buy a new set for $50 because I never really liked them. I think the smooth polished look is way better.

I can polish them myself when I do the rest of the rim, I just dont have a good way of cutting them to the right size. Any Idea how much $$ you would want for a set of 4 if you could make them?

Now you got me thinking. ;) Just curious, but why does Comp Cams think it needs another Midwest office when Comp Cams corporate is located in Memphis, TN? Also, why a machine shop up here? Memphis isn’t too far away… :confused

Cause there is never enough money.....people are greedy. Plus there is a HUGE demand for our products in this area. By locating a office here it can save money in the long run. Just smart business planning I guess. Im just a pawn in the wicked little game called life and as long as they keep signing my check......i could care less how they spend there money.

I can probably whip the 4 caps out at work tomorrow, it will take me all of 5 minutes

.125 thick x 1.500" dia. ?
