Does anyone make replicas of the A36 bakelite lens caps? Modern plastics are fine for my purposes. (Basically, I want something that looks the part, but isn't as hard to find or as likely to make me cry when broken or lost.)

I don't know what the size is that you are looking for. Others in the forums have suggested trying different size medicine container caps such as you get from your pharmacy. I tried and found that some do work on some of my cameras/lenses. They can be painted black. I used a spray paint as it was easy. They may not look quite as good or "normal" as you might want, but the price is right and they are easy to replace so you won't cry if you loose or break one.
 
I think Cameraquest, our local barkeep, has what you're looking for.

Look HERE. You might have to scroll down a bit to see them. $15 each or 3 for $40.
