Default Billet caps

Does anyone make billet oil, brake fliud and power steering caps for the C5? I'm not refering to the ones that fit over the stock caps, but an actual billet cap. Thanks.

West Coast Corvette sells a set for the C6, but I would think they should work on a C5 also (you may want to verify that). Made of Billet aluminum and they replace the entire cap, not just a cover. Part numbers are 3210000 (5 piece set for the automatic, 6 piece set for the 6 speed). Go to www.westcoastcorvette.com

Just checked with Paul at WCC and they won't fit. I'm surprised that someone out there doesn't make a set of billet caps for the C5.

I bought my billet aluminum oil cap on ebay for like $20, the chrome power steering cap from Autozone, not billet, but only $8... Still working on getting the Radiator cap, and master cylinder caps...

I'm surprised no vendor makes these either. IMO, they would be something that would go over well if they were made.

The C6 caps that WCC sells are reasonably priced and they look like they're high quality.
