The little rubber piece that covers the x flash terminal... I can't seem to find a replacement part anywhere online. Is it perhaps called something else or does anyone know where to get a part like this?

I began photographing with a SLR back in 1970 and don't remember ever having one of them or using one. Never had a problem with a flash malfunctioning due to not having one either. Because of their size they are so easy to lose, I'd opt to not replace it.
