Syncros angle/slanted stem cap alternative

Re:

Using expander wedges (like carbon fork style) and not star nuts helps keep things aligned.

Re:

I have the same dilemma re stem cap. :facepalm:
In my search I found this. It seems even Syncros made adapters to take a regular cap which they were sending out! Not attractive....but does the job.

I think I'll do the same....though I can't believe it would be difficult to machine one up. As one chap on a forum pointed out:

It's a three step job, creating the base in a lathe (green), the next sawing the top (blue) in the correct angle and lastly 'manually' adapting the top (red)

Re:

Hi, do you still produce these syncros caps?

Many thanks Brad, yes I produce 3 models : 2 In 1"1/8 and 1 In 1".

All models are renforced than original, mold in very hard resin.

In 1"1/8, have one circular same as last metallic model, and oval model same as resin model (many have cracks).

In 1" oval model.

Price : 5£+shipping.

I produce many all parts (XTR cable caps, Proshift silicon grips, ...)

Would this be worth a shot?

I've got a 3d printer sitting idle here at the moment and am happy to print a few for the forum and send them out to see if they work / hold up.

I would say so - the latter Syncros caps were plastic so it should work... also blue ano syncros stem...? It would be interesting to see how long it took/how much material to be able to gauge a cost for production and P+P.

p.s. interesting find!
