End caps for 2" square tube
I'm hoping to find a few plastic end caps that will fit INTO 2" square
steel tubing that has a 1/16" wall. So far, I have checked McMaster and Home Depot but not found what I need. If someone would give me a link to a place that carries these, I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Lewis. ******************* |

If you don't find them, I have to go to the local supplier within a few
days. How many do you need? I can mail them to you. Steve wrote in message oups.com... I'm hoping to find a few plastic end caps that will fit INTO 2" square steel tubing that has a 1/16" wall.

These are common products for plastics manufacturers. There is a place in WA state that is a big supplier of these. Can't remember the name just now. Believe they are from Bainbridge Island. Also, any of the places that supply parts for gym equipment carries these. If I have time later, I will try to scare up a link or two. |

If you ever get to Houston, it is a nice trip to just go to their store and wander around. You can get lots of ideas for free, and they always have some closeouts and blowouts daily. Steve |

Just called Curtis Steel here locally, but they are closed. I will call tomorrow, and find out how much 2" caps are. Ever see how much Home Depot gets for those three feet pieces of metal they sell? About as much as 20 feet from a supplier. Steve |

Just called Curtis Steel here locally. 2x2 caps are $ .30 each. Parcel
post would be cheap, Priority Mail is $3.85 for less than a pound, and one should be able to get about 25 or more into a box for a pound. Steve |
