I can't imagine that the grease caps are a different size from left to
right. In fact, some places sell one to be used for either side- I can't
remember if it's the one with the hole or without- it's probably with the
hole for the speed cable, as Bus Boys lists a NLA cap that looks like it
would cover the hole if you used it on the right side.
