It came with a knurled "bolt" that holds the USB retainer in, which inspired me to create my own metal, screw in cap. Canon EOS 1D III

All you need to do is make a two piece mold off of a new cap and use carbon fiber cloth and epoxy. Then you can machine the threads so the fit nicer and sell them off. I'll buy a couple, lol.
