Front fork oil lock 78 GS550E

[escherichia]

Hey all,

I just posted about this in the wanted parts section, but figure this might be a better spot for it...

I was disassembling my fork last night and noticed one of my oil locks was bulged with a crack in it, safe to say, it probably needs replacing!

I am at work now so I can't post a picture now but definitely can later tonight if anyone is interested. But the highlighted piece is what I'm referring to.

Anyhow, I have looked all over the net, but can't seem to find replacement oil locks, I was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the direction of a replacement or if they know of a work around?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Anyway, I'd say post something in "Parts Wanted" and someone's bound to have a greasy old bent set of forks lying around with a compatible part.
