PA More Unobtanium?

Over the weekend it appears that one of the front strut caps popped off and is laying on a road somewhere in Pittsburgh, PA. A search for this part shows that it is NLA. I can get one from Phil's Rotary in Australia if I want to pay $40 to ship it. Can anybody ship me one for less than $40? I'm looking for the original smooth dome shaped cap, otherwise I'll have to buy 2.

Thanks,
Larry

Seems like a job for a good 3D printer

I'm sure there are a lot of these just laying around, post up a WTB ad in the marketplace.

Like '81-85 cross wheels, people just throw them out because who cares?

I wonder if caps for a BG would fit.

Also, i need another set of cross wheels.

I reached out to a couple of the local kids, but it seems you may have already talked to one of them. They are good kids, I'm sure if they have one in their stash, they'll get you one.

I have a set of cross wheels, but they need to be refinished. You can have them for $50 + the cost of shipping. If you're interested I can send photos when I get back from my trip on Aug 15.
