If you are looking for C-mount rear lens caps, they are,
indeed hard to find.
BUT, eBay has a lot of cheap 5mm C-mount extension tubes
("C-mount to CS-mount adapter") Put a 1" diameter thin disk
(such as, or thinner than, a USA quarter) into one of the
extension tubes, and you have a C-mount rear lens cap,
or C-mount body cap
