Default Where Can I Get New Caps

So when I blew my rear end and twisted my drive shaft I noticed that the caps for the differential have a small groove in them so I want to replace them but am having a hard time finding new ones. Anyone have any idea where I can get some? Thanks

The Help rack at O'Reilly usually has them, if you're talking about the little bolt down retaining straps for the rear U joint.

if you're talking about the 2 cast iron caps the hold the differential in the rearend,you can't/shouldn't as they are machined in the rearend housing to attain the proper bore diameter for the carrier bearings.

ok so I should just re use the ones I have? I already rebuilt the rear end and put it back in my car and haven't had any issues since but I am about to put a TA cover on it and was thinking I should probably replace the caps since they have a groove near the edge on them but I will just keep them on. Thanks!
