What's the source for the chrome oil filler cap?

I bought an aluminum cap at Billets $10. Just got my can of B95 paint today and plan on painting the valve covers this weekend if the winds cooperate.

I forgot to mention that it's the Toyota oil cap. Sorry.

A:
You can get the cap at nearly any autoparts store that can get import stuff....it's a cheap generic threaded Toyota cap. I'm the guy who talked triple-c into selling the shift knob inserts separately. Lime Rock Race Track, September '04.

The insert for the shifter logo can be obtained by calling the guy at www.triple-c.com
A:
I called Triple-C and they are no longer selling just the inserts. Anyone able to find one somewhere else?

Actually I'm not surprised. When I bought mine the very nice lady on the phone said 'We hope that you remember us for your parts.' It's a really cheap part $2 IIRC.
A:
Is this the correct decal for the oil cap?

Thanks,

A:
No, those are just stick on decals, like childrens stick on cartoon characters. What you want is a 'shift insert.' It has a bit more substance, almost like it has a layer of soft plastic/acrylic over it, if you look at the pic on the very first post in this thread you can get a feel for how much thicker it is. I ordered them by calling triple C and asking for them, couldn't find it on the website.

Thank you Babak
A:
My cartoon stick on is sticker is holding up quite well, FWIW. So are my painted engine covers.
A:
