Anyone know of a good hardware store that will have this cap in stock with the thread size M22x1.5? I don't want to spend $15 on shipping for a little cap and I know home depot, lowes and a couple others around me that are no good to me. I'm in the Falls. Any help greatly appreciated! Thank you, Josh

This!

There is also a brand new Ace on Moreland, just north of Janesville, right by the new Wal-Mart.

I went to the Ace in Sussex with no luck, maybe all of them are different, I'll try the one in Pewaukee or Brookfield.

Did you check Neu's? They usually have the odd-ball stuff I can't find at other places.

Never seen anything quite like what your looking for though.

That is a Komatsu brand or Komatsu related cap. Try calling a construction equipment supply house. I know there are a few located on I-45 and Silver Spring Rd. A plow equipment or hydraulic supply house might also have something like that and there is at least one location in that same area too.

That was the first place I went and nothing. I was surprised because they usually have everything I need in a jam.

That was the closest thing I could find with the M22x1.50 cap with a internet search. It's for blocking off the EGR exhaust port on my exhaust manifold.

Like this.

Napa c5129x12. should be same as lightning. You can use a brass garden hose cap as well.

Yea its not the same. I still have my cap from my old lightning in the picture above. Trying to sell it on lighting rodder. The thread is smaller. I would have bought one of the EGR kits online but in the end I'm forking out $50 plus for the same hardware that is only 6-7 dollars. Thanks for the quick replies!

Here is the cap from the Parker Store. They did not have it in stock, but he ordered it for me and picked it up a few days later after I got off work. Only $6.

Thanks again BCM!
