3rd Generation Power Steering Cap where to get?

Stupid of me to leave the power steering reservoir cap in the engine, while trying to get the fluid to top it off...the wind blew and the hood came crushing down, tore my cap to bits....(I must change my hood shocks).

I have been looking for a replacement...cannot find it. I know I can get them from the junk yard, but are replacements available from the B&M auto stores? Tried ebayy but none I can find....

I put in plastic and rubber bands...for now. I need the cap!

TIA!!!

Yea thats an odd part, but an easy junk yard find. Itll take 10 min and cost you 2 bucks. I know it sucks. For now try getting one of those rubber plumbing caps with a clamp at homey D.

Autozone and others usually have an odd parts section (some are labeled "HELP!" I think). But a salvage yard would be a surer and possibly cheaper bet. Of course a dealership could order one for you for a price.

"(some are labeled "HELP!" I think)."

That would have been my first suggestion. There is a HELP line of products in most auto parts stores. I don't know if they will have this, but it's worth a try. If you wind up getting one from a junk yard I would replace the o-ring with a new one. No telling how long that one has been sitting in a junk yard and it's the o-ring that goes and causes leaks.
