    Hi, the '70 end cap is very tightly fitted from new and doesn't come of easily, but if you look at it, it has an 8 slot star shape cut into it. You need a 'split blade' screw driver, made in such a way that it fits in to a pair of slots in a straight line, you need to keep loads of pressure on it, but also be able to hit it hard to 'shock the cap free. Be careful, you can easily damage the end cap, but with a bit of care, you will be ok. If you have a ''friend'' with machining facility's you might be able to get a four blade driver made, which is what I made when in an engineering factory, if you want a photo, e mail me at ray210645@yahoo.co.uk and I will try and send one to you.
