4MM end caps ?
I ran out of 4MM derailleur housing end caps. I had a bottle of 100 aluminum caps I got off Ebay some time back and I have been looking to buy another batch. Tried Ebay and Amazon. Plenty of the 5MM brake housing caps but about the only 4MM caps I see are the plastic ones. I would rather have the aluminum ones again. I did see a bottle of 100 on Ebay for $70.00 though 
Any suggestions on where else to look ?

Universal has several different ones, from machined Aluminum to inexpensive brass (similar to standard brake ferrules.

Don't dismiss the plastic ferrules. They come standard on Shimano shifter cable sets and are durable and work very well.
