I need the small black cap for the right side heater venitlation controls. None of my usual suppliers can help.
SLS part number is 883170.
Preferably from europe due shipping but will look further afield if I have to.

I know you won’t be enamored by my answer, but have you tried the SL Shop. They have a lot of NOS from the Netherlands which they haven’t put on their website, as yet.

Aware that you may consider them as ‘competitors’, but if you can put that aside, they may be able to help

Thanks Katie. I don't regard them as competitors and I do genuinely admire what Sam Bailey has achieved with his degree in marketing, I just don't like them as a company for reasons I won't go in to here. I will only buy from them if there's absolutely nowhere else to get it.

Just to save you the trauma I went afield and checked the SL shop, but they have the plug only, not that cap. The part you mentioned is not, I think, a Pagoda part, actually, it is W108 or W109. So they have the bulb cap.

Hi,
for me, this is a candidate for the 3D-printer. These parts are no longer available, crumble over time and are often searched for.

Wre,
It does not look like a very difficult part to print. The task is to have or get good dimensions of an existing one to create a model. If some cane supply these, I am more than happy to give it a try.

 No problem, only a suggestion. I call them up if I want something, as said, they have a lot of things no on the website

However, luckily we seem to have a lot of clever bunnies who can do this 3D printing witchcraft. That seems an amicably  better solution so long as we are able to find a part to start with 😁

For the benefit of those who might find this thread in the future:
I had to pay commercial prices for the digital drawing and production of this part.
If you need it let me know and I can have one printed for you.
