For optimal results, you don't want to use a metal cap, as you can't get the 
pinhole small and narrow enough.  The thickness of the metal will create 
diffraction effects vs. a thin medium.  The best solution is to drill out a 
plastic cap and glue on a piece of thick aluminim foil or very, very thin sheet 
metal, which will allow the creation of a much more even hole.

I bought a pinhole body cap from somewhere years ago, and this is what I've 
used for quite a while.

Oh, and I've never seen a metal OM body cap.
