Yes that's the sort of thing I need, although I'm not sure I'll be able to get one with a profile that does match my oval shaped handrail. Thanks.


This sort of thing might be closer. You could possibly modify two to
make an oval recess, or shape your pole into a 50mm circle at the end...

That's the sort of concept but it's getting one to fit my oval rail that might be difficult. I'd probably make a wooden one if I go that route

Why not shape the bit of handrail that goes into the fitting so that it
matches the fitting? That's the nice thing about wood, its easy to cut
and shape.

I just don't want to weaken the rail at all

If that's all that's stopping you then how about 150mm of threaded rod
resin glued into the centre of the rail?

Yes I did think of that. The problem is I only have a hand drill and I'm not confident I can drill a hole bang on the rail axis. If the rod is skewed it'd be difficult to fit into the hole in the brick

The rod would be flush with the end of the wood. It would be there to
strengthen the wood so you are happy to cut it to fit a circular
bracket. The support would come from the screws holding the bracket to
the wall.

Drill the holes well oversized in the rail and the wall, and inject
fixing resin into both holes, you can then push everything into place
while the resin is still uncured.

(not entirely sure why you need to fix the very end of the rail anyway,
presumably its fixed to a perpendicular wall for most of the run?)

Another thought is scaffold fittings. Apart from being the highest
mountain in England, Scaffold Pipes are just under 50mm diameter, maybe
something could be adapted.

That's a poor angle for the photo, like an optical illusion, my brain
wanted to see it inside-out.

I thought it was a poor design for a mouse's urinal.
