Do you have a machine shop. That takes some heavy duty equipment to turn those down and be able to index hole locations. The polishing part on a lathe is the gravey part.

Just a manual lathe at home and a manual mill at work, the older Rinehart end caps have those holes in them already. Didnt know how it woould come out just started cutting away till I liked the angle and then got the taper past the holes. Didnt do any polishing on the lathe just sanded them and then polished on a series of buffing wheels.

Stoopid azz question here, sorry I'm not familiar with these caps.

Did the polished caps start out just like the black cap?

You milled these?

If so that's friggin' awesome work!!
