I had a great ride in the mountains today. When I got back home I found that one of these had dropped off Sad I don't suppose anyone happens to have a spare do they, rather than me buying a whole new set of 3 covers?

No I don't have a spare, but I lost both of mine.
I ordered new replacements and when I installed them I also used clear adhesive caulk, in addition to the set screw.

If you ordered a new set you'd have 2 spares.   Just trying to see the glass half full....

I've seen people use chrome caps from the plumbing section of home improvement stores.  About $10 each.  Good chrome and use silicone glue to mount.

If I recall correctly, the end caps from a stock set of grips will fit over that as well....  But you would have to use clear silicone as there obviously isn't a set screw to hold it in place.

Thanks guys for all the comments. A bit of lateral thinking. I have found a company selling them in the UK for $35 a pair but they want just shy of $50 to send them to Spain on top  Undecided I know postage is getting expensive but that is just ridiculous.
