A friend who dropped his R-D1 causing the shutter speed dial to come apart and need repairing has now found that 'cap' that tops the wind on lever has drpped off and disappeared. Robert White arranged his previous repair, but it took 4 months.
In this case the wind on (and camera) still works, but is loose and rides up & down. I was wondering if the wind on lever and cap is the same as any of the Cosina Bessas as it may be easier and quicker to find and fit one of these? Does any one know if they are the same?
Camera City in London have said they may be able to repair the R-D1 winder, but it would be helpful to know if a Bessa part might fit.

I think I have found the winder cap on the German MK Computer web site: that Rich Cutler has helpfully linked to (part 1288550 and costs about 12 Euros), but it would still be useful to know if a Bessa part will fit.
