Default Broke off a pintle cap, injector still functional?

I dropped some dsm 450s I had and one of the pintle caps broke off, but the pintle itself looks to be in good shape. I am wondering if any of you guys have used injectors w/o the caps on, or if you know where I can get a replacement cap. I suppose it could be affecting the spray pattern somewhat, but I doubt it.

Thanks in advance.

It will work fine as long as all pieces of the cap are off, you don't want pieces falling in.
