TT-X21 topcap broken - TanTan does not have replacements

[ldavies]

Hi all,
Anyone have an idea as to where to get a replacement top cap for a TT-X21?  This is the one that goes with the handlebar that is attached to the fork steerer tube with a wedge/expander thingy.  Pictures of the wedge and broken top cap attached.  And Tan Tan says they do not have any replacements!!!!!!!

I don't have a source for a replacement top cap. I could probably model and print you one though, if you are located somewhere sending a package from Germany to is not outrageously expensive. You wouldn't be able to preload the steerer with it - you would have to use a normal round cap for that - but it should look pretty decent.
Is my assumption correct that the only thing broken is the chamfer interfacing with the screw?

Depending on how the dimensions match up, maybe drill the second hole in one of these caps?

Thank you for the kind offer but I think the other one mentioned in the post above will fit with a few small adjustments which I can do with sandpaper.

Thank you so much.  Dimensions will ft almost exactly and I think I will be able to modify it as I need with a bit of sandpaper.  Two are on teh way from Aliexpress.
