I have been using Ishimori ligatures for a while now, but struggle to find a cap that can fit over the satin gold on B Flat and Solid silver on alto and bass. Can anyone advise a suitable brand cap?

My go to cap that works with EVERYTHING is the Vandoren Leather cap meant for their Leather ligature (that has the two separate leather inserts and the one metal insert). It is basically a leather mouthpiece "helmet" that stays on with a hard foam surround ring on the interior surface.
If you can get your hands on one, I really like the ZAC ligature leather cap as well. Same design, but it seems a bit more robust and uses a larger surround on the inside that should hold up for many many years. It comes in a nice natural brown color as well as lots of "fun" colors too.

Oops!
Nearly forgot to mention my second favorite "EVERYTHING" cap which is the Silverstein rubber cap. It slips over the exposed reed and tip of mouthpiece. The only down side is that it may not protect the rest of the table if you use it to protect the mouthpiece while rattling around in a drawer of equipment (as I do on occasion) unless you leave a reed on it.
