Hydro assist steering box caps

I am looking at going to hydro assist on my k5 before too long. I have seen several vendors that have a "front" cap (the round one) for a 2wd steering box, but I have yet to find a vendor with a top cap. I would just as soon not tap my own because if I screw something up then I am up a creek. If there is no other way then I will do that, but I would prefer a nicer, thicker, replacement cap.

Anyone know of someone who sells these?

It's easy to drill and tap it. If you do mess it up, the 4wd cap will fit as well.
 
i tried a 4wd cap on the end of a 2wd box and it leaked like crazy. Had me puzzled because it sure looks like they are the same
 
I drilled and tapped a few of them at school a few weeks back. You'll need a 9/16ths drill bit and a 3/8-18 NPT tap. It's that easy.
 
Ok, good deal. I might try and tap it myself. Alternatively, does anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area want to tap my steering box nicely on the side like they do at WTO? Let me know how much you would charge me.

Thanks!
