Why didn't you just solder it back on?

Yeah, sorry Chad, I kinda meant, where is it now - it didn't disintegrate did it? As Nick says, why didn't you just reattach it?

If the endcap is lost/ruined, you could file/sand down the freeze plug so it's a closer match to the other end cap. Wink

As Nick says, cant you remove the freeze plug and file it to shape it a little more  Smile
