Jim,
Just a word of caution.  The holes that you will be tapping are very
shallow (unless you want to poke through the cap.  To get a good thread you
will have to use a 4-40 bottom tap.  I found this out when I replaced my
cap with a stock cap that had been removed and rechromed.  No pictures.
Good luck
