Subject: [CR]Cheap caps for Campagnolo Steel Pump Heads

I've found a cheap source of replacement caps for Campagnolo steel pump heads at the local hardware store. They certainly aren't original, but look nice, are roughly the same length as originals and therefore serve the functional purpose of preventing metal to paint contact.

These little pliable caps are made to slip over the end of bolts, I presume for safety or identification purposes. They come in different diameters, each a different colour. The red seems to fit best, though black and orange also fit. There is also yellow and blue, but these don't fit well.

Cost is $0.10 - $0.20 each. Recap a few pump heads for a buck!

A list member referenced an ebay auction recently offering what looks like the red ones.
