You may recall I mentioned in late March that I was in contact with Joe
at Beljan and he was well along on producing OM-1 & 2 battery and MD
caps, but hadn't found anyone who could match the Oly chrome plating. He
e-mailed me that he found the plater he needed and would start selling
on eBay today. He sounds like a stickler for detail and his goal was to
make them indistinguishable from the originals. He even has the black
caps plated before painting just like Oly did and had custom paint made
up for them. I don't have mine yet, but expect them to be very nice.
We've talked a little about other possible tools, but not other Oly
parts. Is there really a market for bottom plates, or just for
refinishing them?

Someone apparently got fed up with the non
availability of these caps and made a bunch up. They
are a bit expensive at $15-16.75 but apparently that
includes free shipping. Of course no affiliation but I
am definitly excited about this. a dream of the list
has been fulfilled by this guy. Maybe if he sells out
he'll make more...
