Need Ritchey crank end cap
The non-drive side of my Ritchey crank is missing the black end cap you see on the drive side. The cap is threaded and screws into my crank and has a hole in the middle for the crank bolt.
I haven't had luck on eBay or on the Ritchey website. Any idea where I can one? It's really just cosmetic, but I just want to complete the bike. (The bike isn't this dirty anymore)

i can’t tell if your Ritchey crank is square taper or Octalink or Isis. I’m assuming square taper?

It's an Octalink bottom bracket and the cap is separate from the bolt.

Split image. Top is original crank bolt and chainring hardware; bottom is the Ti replacement. Notice the original was not self-extracting.

The first time I tried removing the cranks, I did leave the cap in place and thought better of it once the washer started bearing on the back side of the cap. I ended up using a puller and it required A LOT of torque.
