I bought mine at McMaster Carr. I don't remember the part number, but they have many sizes to choose from.

If you can contact Robert Stanton on this site he is the man that bought out Rupp years ago.

Not sure if Robert has the caps, McMaster Carr and most hardware stores have them (plumbing plugs)but the finish is only bright. Vince Hughes has very nice chrome ones.
