    They look nice. Anodizing would make them even better!

                Superb. But in NZ I'm better known as "that grumpy old c*** who builds engines "

                I don't think the caps are big enough for that, LOL.

                      Nice. They look a lot better than the hex socket flat heads that come with the stainless kits. The hex socket also strips out to easily.

                        Do you have a CAD/.stl file you would be willing to share for those? Might try 3D printing a few to see how it looks
