All I can suggest is to start looking on eBay. This is a really odd ball item and they stopped making Shimano 600 items around 1994. All I can really say is Good Luck!jackchoo said:hi..mine has gone missing....any ideas where i can get a replacement online. Heard that this is quite hard to come by, well at least over here!
If you happen to have one to sell or to give away...please contact me! Thanks!
Well, if the cap just cosmetically fills-the-hole, then it isn't significantly different than a hub cap or wheel cover on an automobile wheel ... and, I presume you are saying that the stem is otherwise functional without it,jackchoo said:well looks like I need to get the entire stem from Ebay! oh well, I'll think of some other way to cover that up. Well, cosmetically its quite unique but it serves a purpose of sealing the hole where the handlebar and stem adjustment nuts resides. I wouldn't want any water to get in there.....
looks like my worries were a little bit exaggerated. It does rain a lot in Singapore (and it HOT all year round) but i do not do a 24/7 in the rain forest.. I guess its down to cosmetics....Powerful Pete said:For the record, I am missing the same part on a 1994 3ttt stem, and you will have no problems with water from a mechanical/reliability point of view unless you plan on riding 24/7 in the rain forest.
Having said that, from a cosmetic point of view the missing cap bothers me also. Ebay, here I come...
Yes, I doubt that you will find someone selling a stem cap. A better bet is spending some time in the old spare parts bins of local bike shops. You would be surprised what you might come up with.jackchoo said:I've did extensive search on ebay and came up with nothing but did see some 3ttt stuff....you prob have to buy the entire stem just to get the cap...
