This might sound like an odd question, but why would you want to do that other than going concours, but then you'd need it to be all metal surely?

Would you not be better just using an all plastic cam belt cover?

You can - as I have metal covers on both my GTX's, with plastic lowers, but the design of the plastic lower may be different for the top plastic cover.
