Any idea where to get one?  Checked the above site, BLAUfergnügen and
The Parts Connection.  I hadn't worried about this step yet.  Seems like
it is the crux of the procedure.  I should probably order some new caps
in case they get chewed up while I figure out how to remove them.

Thanks for the help!
