Which dust caps fit Lyotard pedals?
I have a pair of Lyotard 36F pedals (see here for an image: https://slowbicycles.com/2010/06/16/lyotard-pedals/ )
One of the dust caps is missing. It is the threaded type. The prices for the replacement caps on eBay are frankly insane. Are there any other brands of pedal dust caps that are interchangeable with the Lyotard pedals? Will MKS dust caps work?
Thanks!

I think you're limited to Lyotard dust caps; however, I'm fairly sure that the dust caps on the different models are interchangeable. So if you score a set of the cheaper ones, you'll be able to swap.

136Rs came on a lot of Peugeots. On a related note, I recently was given a set of 240s-- long-cage versions of the 460s-- and was moderately happy to find that both dust caps were included and intact. Very good pedals, overall; though the spindles on the lower-end versions, we're coming to find, may be slightly prone to bending and breakage. But the races and cones are good hard steel, and the dust caps do their job every bit as well as can be expected. So find one!

Yeah, I'm missing one myself on my '84 Le Vagabond...It looks like that 36f rat trap, same as yours. The bike had very limited use and yet it was a goner when I bought it.

I'll confess to once having taped a bottlecap to a Lyotard once, many years ago, when I could not find a replacement cap.

Ha!
My old Weinmann platforms finally gave up the ghost and I replaced them with Shimano platforms. Significant upgrade! But I'm missing both dust caps... or I was, until I Superglued root-beer bottle caps into the recess.
