In case anyone is looking, Ebay seller Zeissman has rear lens caps which fit the Jupiter 8 and Helios 103 Kiev mount lenses. They actually fit better than the original FSU caps. (No financial interest. Just passing on information which might be useful.)

If you're stuck: find a film can, the sort where the lid clips over the can rim and not the sort that the lid is like a plug that fits into the can. Take a sharp knife, cut carefully around the inner circle of plastic on the inside of the lid to remove it flush. Voila, fits the Helios and J-8 as a rear cap.

Hi,
Then use the rest of the lidless container as a rear cover for the 35mm J-12...

Gosh, next you'll be telling me you don't use the top of a milk container for your Leica's front lens cap...
