Had the bottom for a while and finally came across a top cap this week

But they where 2 different colours

and both had bits of damage

So out with the over pride and some different grades of sandpaper and after and hour or so I'm left with a stem I can now use

Not a bad idea that. Close to the original clear anodised finish as well.

Nice work Snav.
