Spark Plug Cover

Hi. Does anyone have any info about custom made spark plug covers? I thought it would be a great gift for a friend of mine if I buy one with his shop's name on it. All i need is one or two, so if any of you guys know a site that produces them, or if any of the vendors on evoM make one I would be greatly appreciated.

Probably going to have to get a machine shop to make one bud. I think many vendors have covers with their names on it but I doubt any one of them is going to special order a machined cover with another shops name on it.

I can see your point. Either way, I might find a machine shop to make a few of them for the evo's that this guy worked on.

Custom covers are not manufactured because as you would probably guess, there is a CAD file required to machine each part. That is a computer model that is loaded into the machine and the machine produces it. If you wanted a custom cover, the designer would have to go back and edit this file, which may not sound like a big deal, but it will take enough time to make the part not worth manufacturing. So, in other words the answer is no.

Well if you were in no rush to do this, I am working on this CAD as a hobby right now but the fitment isn't perfect still, so I'll probably need a few more weeks. I use the machine shop at my school.

No rush at all. If/once you eventually get the fitment right, hit me up with a PM.
