My trusty aluminium extending ladder has lasted at least 20 years, and
is still in very good order - except that the rubber/plastic 'buffers'
at the ladder ends have begun to deteriorate. These help grip the
walls at the top, and the ground at the bottom, so they do contribute
to safety of the ladder unit in use.

Can replacement buffers be obtained from the ladder manufacturers?

Currently they are riveted in place, but I guess that nuts & bolts
would work just as well if I have to drill the rivets out.

Google, lots to choose from

Thanks Mark - they are just the fellows I need.

My Google search technique only showed me ladder manufacturers - no
parts, so I had begun to think that these 'spares' were unobtainable.

So it's really good news.

Google search technique, that's becoming
so essential in the way we now shop, it will
soon be on the curriculum.
