I totally mangled the dustcap when servicing my sneaker pedal a month ago. But the servicing worked. Then a month later a click returned. The mangled cap had fallen off.
I googled around and found this neat trick. A nickel (barely) fits in there!

I've never been able to hang onto a nickel. How do you do that?

Riv sells MKS dust caps. At least they used to. Check there to get some.

No need for the plastic ones!
Pocket full of nickels (and they only cost five cents!),

If you have access to a bench top grinder its advisable to reduce the circumference of the nickel just-a-bit. Don't just jam them in there. I popped my nickels out this year for the pedals annual service ... no problem. There's a notch in the pedal just for this purpose.
I too, just like Edwin, lost my MKS cap. My first replacement required two round trips to the LBS (pick-up and delivery) and $3+ dollars. After that I googled and learned about the nickel trick. It works great and only costs 5 cents. Gotta love the internet! If you haven't googled it you haven't tried.
