The style of oil cap that goes on this tube is kind of ubiquitous. I had a lot of NOS options available to me at reasonable cost (how often have you heard that in the last couple of years). But I don't know what the finish should be. This example has a phosphate finish. They put chrome ones on Corvettes (at least the higher HP versions). Dave did not have the OE cap. The pics of the original tube/cap earlier in this thread could be phosphate...could be raw. I don't think it was painted black.
We'll leave it as is for now, until hopefully more info emerges.

My cap is grey phosphate.
