Default Replacement battery fill caps?

You'd think this would be a super easy to find item, but I'm having a hell of a time finding these anywhere.

Not that many wet cell lead acid batteries around anymore. Most batteries are now the gel mat type that are sealed. Possibly an Indy shop may have some old batteries or caps.

You literally made me look in the garage. I might have tossed them. I would have just put them in an envelope to you. If I come across them you can have them. I will never go back to a wet battery myself.
