Girvin Flexstem rubber top cap

I have a NOS Girvin Flexstem for my Muddy Fox Courier Comp but it is missing the rubber top cap!

Anyone got a spare?

Cheers,
Bart

did they come with rubber top caps? None of mine ever has. Perhaps I'm missing out on something :shock:

Perhaps it was plastic

I think there were 2 versions!

I'm looking for a top cap or a 1" yellow complete one..... (like in the first picture!)

without top cap:

and with (hard to see, but there is one!):

I prefer the first type.

I need one for my Muddy Fox http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=938899

But also would like a yellow one!!

IIRC the alloy one (alloy quill) never had a top cap (top pic), where as the steel one (steel quill, bottom pic) did.
Hope this helps.

Yes yours is missing the plastic top cap but to be fair it doesn't look too bad without it IMO.

I think it looks like a small ashtray!
