Often missing as they have thin metal tabs that lose their grip on the bakelite base which often becomes partly broken around the top edge. I have seen large oil drum caps adapted to look a little similar to the original item - It's just a question of finding one the correct size and adapting it as best you can.
The later Rubies have an all Bakelite junction box with a screw on top cover. These can be broken due to over tightening. They are not as difficult to obtain as the 'Click' type, but it may take a while to source one.
