        If I send you a m21 valve cover and intake, can you do something like this to it?

                  What an odd valve cover. I'm sure it could be done.

                  My biggest fear is if this is the only one you have, and the potential for a CNC mishap to ruin it. Do you have a separate core you could send for us to attempt the work just in case? I would hate to ruin your only valve cover.

                        Any more Mtechnic? I want. How much to do one with the Schrick logo/font? It seems those would probably be popular!

                          here's an example of what M42ers might like. Personally I'd like to have the lines decked off completely and the font size increased.

                            As long as I can find it in a true text font anything is doable.

                            Should also be doable. Sent you a PM back.

                              A solution might be to cnc it on an aluminum round the same size as the rondell. Cut out the rondell with a hole saw. Tig new piece in from the rear. That way It will still be the same height as the groves if you are keeping them.

                                I would buy one in the correct font saying "BMW M Technic" Same for 2 pairs of handles.

                                Its pretty close to standard Helvetica font. Just not as spaced out.
