Broke the dust cap on Shimano uniglide rear hub

Hello,

I was repacking my rear hub, it is a shimano 105 uniglide hub, and I broke the dust cap on the freehub side. It was a completely new hub (NOS) and now I'm sitting here with a non usable one...

Where can I possibly find a new dust cap?

Or maybe I could get a hyperglide freehub body to replace it with, where can I find one of them?

Thank you!

Hi, can you give us a photograph of the hub or the dustcap? We have some old wheels at the bike shop. Maybe I can find one that matches, and send you a dustcap.

That would be extremely appreciated!

Here is two photos of the hub. You can see the hole in the dust cap, its missing more than you see too, the sidewalls on one side is pretty much gone.

If MechBgon can't find that cap, I think I've got a silver (grey?) one.
Looks like you can get them here.

I think those are for a hyperglide freehub, where the dust cap sits further in the hub.

Hi gustav531, I found a dustcap for your hub. Send me a private message with your mailing address and I'll send it tomorrow

Thank you again mechBgon! I received the dust cap today and it was a perfect match! I am very grateful for your help!
This is truly a great forum with great members, what a nice welcome to the forums! I hope that one day I will be able to help another member here in the same manner.



Here is the new and old cap.


Everything set up again, just need to leave this and the rim to the LBS and get the wheel built some time soon


Here is the bike its intended for.
