Check out the parts made by "Crafty B" on the HAMB... AWESOME! And his truck is an engineering work of art... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313997
Frank also sent me photos of another style that he makes.He can also give them a distressed look, if interested.They sell for $275.00 and Frank can be reached at [email protected] [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"][COLOR="DarkSlateGray"][/COLOR][/COLOR].
Crafty B did mine. http://www.crafty-b.com/index.php I think his detail is better than anything posted above. He offers many styles/finishes & most are under $300. JH
His detail is good but Frank's is better finished and is an exact copy of the original Halibrand......
There's no denying the quality of Frank's caps. If you're hunting a perfect reproduction, that is definately the way to go. Everything he does is amazing. If you're hunting cool with lots of character Crafty B can hook you up. JH
Here are some photos of an original Enots cap made in Birmingham, England from a 1954 Ferrari Monza - is this where the name 'Monza cap' came from? To open it you, put your finger underneath the latch tab and push upward on it.
Beat me to it. Crafty B is good people too! If it's an exact duplicate of the original, than that might not be the best choice though.
I've got one from Frank..great piece and he makes them in 2 sizes. He'll also install a filler tube as well for your hose to attach to.
Here is the reproduction cap that I make..just like the orginal and it's kind of funny this post can up today because I just finished this one about and hour ago. Crafty Crafty B Nostalgic Speed www.crafty-b.com

Guys, on this note here are some shots of an original George Shilala cap (the guy who started this style I believe when shop foreman for Frank Kurtis and who only passed away last year aged 95 ) This has the original Shilala Speed Supply cast into it and is on my Shilala Sprint Car If any one wants more details ,PM me at [email protected] Cheers Greg
These gas caps are pretty cool! I'm building a tribute Javelin Trans AM car and I have been looking for this duel cap, does anyone know anything about them? They were used from 1967 thru 1970 on various Trans Am Cars. See photo attachments
I know this is an old thread, but the caps on the Trans-Am racer of the day look to be modified versions of the duel Joe Hunt cap that was used on Indy cars in the 50's and early 60's. Not to be mistaken for the single cap used on some cars and also used on dry sump tanks. They were being reproduced at one time by someone in SoCal.
Holy shit! Hot rodding is just stupid these days. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...74735&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123
Some guys have more money than brains, that seller seems to have found a few of them. He always has a bunch of big money stuff.
Hiya, Is anybody making the halibrand style gas caps? If yes, pls tell me how to see them and get prices, thanks, [email protected]. I need one for a 1954 Kurtis 500S
I'm currently in the process of completing our first batch of LeMans gas caps. They will be available at nystromperformance.com in two weeks. Check 'em out. They've been a lot of fun to make.
The first batch of finned Lemans style fuel caps have just hit the website. Here is the link to them on our website. https://nystromperformance.com/collections/automotive-parts/products/lemans-style-gas-cap If you have any further questions, please dont hesitate to contact me.
I got to see one in person today, and it is extraordinary! Now I need to figure out how to use one on my hot rod. Nice work, Cam!
I received one of the first of the new Lemans style gas caps - really a nicely done product - thank you!
