where to get a focuser cap?

[GazK]

Does anyone know where I could get a focuser end cap with a pull-tab, like the orange one in this images?

Astroboot or ebay would be the first places I'd look.

No dice on either I'm afraid. Only those cheap nasty red ones which require a pair of pliers to remove from the rear of my Mak

Hmmm. Is there a particular reason you're looking for that design? Just wondering if there isn't something else that might do the job equally well.

Hi, avoid the one from astroboot, I made the mistake here and yes whilst it might do, they are a bit cheap and nasty. I just bought one from OPT of this design,

www.optcorp.com

OPT 1.25" dust cap for focuser worked out at £6.99 delivered from USA - you will need to contact them though and they will email you an order form, I made the payment through paypal.

How about something you can get for FREE ?

These clear plastic bottles work perfect as a 1.25" cap, and also double as a .965 container.

They came in a neighbors L'OREAL hair colour box, and contained plastic gloves.
