Picked up a hard to find original Yoke Cap.


From the B-47 Stratojet.

Only downside is the attachment prongs are broken.

That's only really an issue when you go to install it in your B-47...

Instead of building a new one around an old data tag, just build it around the yoke cap instead... obviously!
