Default Mud caps

Over this past year ive been wanting to make my own mud caps or mud plugs which ever you want to call it. I have access to alotta hand tools and some basic skills so i decided to try it out. I can only make them for DWT wheels because thats what i run and havent had anyone want any made for anything else.

If anyone would like any more info Im willing to share and I would consider to sale a set of my own (limited quanity) But the materials wasnt cheap so I can give them away

THIS IS NOT A FORSALE ADD JUST SHARING MY CUSTOM PRODUCT.

CLEAR:


CLEAR/BLACK (painted the inside of a clear)


Clear/black VS. Aluminum

Looks good.... Ive got a set of the dwt caps on my ITP prolocks. A little ghetto looking since the itps dont have as many bolts as the cap are cut for but it does the job lol.

haha no doubt it does the job.

The reason i DONT like the DWT plastic caps is after a race they are always either about to fall out or you cant get them out without breaking your fingernail off tryin to get a grip on the cap. Ive broke a DWT cap because i was pulling on it and it wouldnt move so the plastic broke. These i can remove within 20 seconds using a ratchet or 2 seconds using a battery impact or drill

100% hand made. i used a jigsaw on the aluminum ones and a holecutter for the plexiglass clear ones. No tools besides a drill press and jig saw
