Good idea! I think they would look great. there are ones that are 4/40 sized with a 5/16" thick head.

The larger sizes could be used for air intake covers. Precleaner's, what ever you want to call them. Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Even the smaller sizes might be too large in my opinion. PMD has or had nice looking ones in black plastic. I know, Steve, we can make metal ones but when in a pinch buying is easier than making plus I like the finger grooves in them.

I remember seeing them I just didn't remember where yes I could make them but , these tanks need to go out and I got so much going between getting unused excavating equip. moved and getting a cnc mill and lathe and set up + getting orders done . I got the mill now I need to get the lathe and the bigger the spindle bore the better
