Sorry for the incorrect message earlier, been a while since I put them together.
No worries! Thanks for checking. I've just never seen this style before. I'm still a novice, trying to learn from you pros.
I found some beehive style caps online and have them on order.
Interestingly I found some computer case screws in my junk box that work pretty well as a temporary substitute. I think they're security screws so they have a hole to run a locking cable through? I don't know for sure, but they actually work.
The brake ferrule doesn't slot into the top nicely though compared to the correct beehive ones.
