Resurrecting an old and apparently rare MS part

After looking and watching for months for one FS I gave up and asked if ANYONE had one available FS. Only ONE surfaced. (THANKS BRIAN!)

....but it needed some serious TLC.

How did you do the refurb? Lots of elbow grease?

A couple pics of it installed. Also a comparison of the size difference between the MS cap and the "Rotary13b"rotor shaped oil cap (now FS BTW). The MS cap is actually quite small and in part while I like it. The "Rotary13b" cap is nice but it is BIG and quite heavy!

As for how I cleaned it up....if it's aluminum, anything is possible. I am after all the "polishing fiend."

Regards,
Crispy
