RV-8 fuel caps

I have the newer plastic fuel caps on my RV-8 and have been looking for an alternative. I finally called Aerosport products, they advertise the tops and tabs for the RV-10 and RV-14 engraved. They made me a pair for my RV-8, they said they don't advertise for the RV-8 because a lot of them have the older all metal caps and they only make them for the newer plastic ones.

I asked a question of Newton about the materials used for the current fuel caps. In the reply it was mentioned that an aluminum cap was due soon (no date mentioned, this was back in Sept) and would fit the flange supplied with current kit that is supplied by Vans. It appears to be a drop in replacement for the composite caps that currently ship.
