How 'stock' do you want it? Some Panteras came with ATE caps, some with 
Girling, and some with no-name caps- all plastic. Plastic used in screw-caps 
WILL fail eventually due to tension-stress from overtightening, especially 
after 40 years of soaking in brake fluid. Wrecking yards are full of plastic 
caps from brake or clutch that will fit- Volvo, FIAT, Alfa etc but a better 
solution is a $7.95 polished aluminum cap from Pegasus Auto Racing <
www.pegasusautoracing.com> in Berlin, WI. (P# 3549).   Last forever and you get a 
nickel's worth of bliing with it.   I've had mine so long I paid $2.95.... FWIW-
