Hey JFP in PA..I thought this cap was some sort of dust cover. Are you sure it isn't needed? I am in the the middle of replacing mine as we speak and my Bosch part did not include the cap as well.
This actually happen to me last week. I heard a bit of squeaking from a the pulley and was going to check it over the weekend. Didn't make it cause the following day I actually heard someimg fly off and down the road and lost powering steering. I had towed and it turns out the alternator pulley came off. This alnerator has 150,000 miles on it
