Along with the grip socket plug and the little plastic eyepiece cover, the most absurdly expensive items on your Pentax dslr.
Being rather aged, I found these little caps almost impossible to screw in without dropping them.
It took me a long time to find a s/h replacement sync cap for my K5 - I was not prepared to pay £5 for one!
For less than a fiver I bought a little cube that sits in the hot shoe and has a socket in the side and a repeat hot shoe on the top. Works fine. (Especially on the K10 which, of course, lacks a sync socket!)

I replaced mine with a push-in one from my old ME Super

Have you tried looking on ebay?
You may not get a screw in sync cap, probably a push on.
The price from China is probably in the region of £2.00 for 10 and that includes postage.
You''l have a good supply for future losses
