I replaced one with an above-chassis configuration one time that included a short length of rectangular aluminum tubing to shield the new cap. Kind of kept some of the original look.
I posted this one in case someone was looking to replace one with a NOS cap. It appears this one is still good so it would be an easy repair if someone needs it.
