Anonymous Poster	Screw CAP/Plug 01/17/2011 2:14 PM
	Am looking for caps/plugs to cover socket head cap screws - M3 and M4. The requirements are The outermost surface should be anodized aluminum. Going for a custom aluminum part is definitely expensive. So am planning to use a rubber CAP/Plug that snap fits onto the OD of screwhead / allen opening respectively and then glue aluminum shim on top of it. Please let me know your suggestions, links to off the shelf rubber or plastic caps/plugs that you have used.
