I can try to make you a set for the 1100 if you send me an original. It will cost $100+ $5 shipping. If they are the rectangular caps I won't be able to turn the inside or outside so bear in mind the only machine work will be the face and may be a tad over sized on the outside dimension. At this point I will have to make sure I can make them before I can promise success. If that is an issue, I will refund your money.

I finally got some pictures of the process ya'll asked for. I've been using the big furnace to make ingots and then remelt what I need in the propane forge for casting the actual caps.
Melting the stock from beer cans.
Pouring the casting.
Opened mold
Final casting. The top one had a large shrink. It has to be redone.
