Linhof Color Kardon Rail End Caps

[Michael Kadillak]

I have a Linhof Color Kardon 8x10 studio camera with several metal rails of various lengths and I have been looking to acquire plastic end caps to take the edge off of the metal edge. A simple push in plastic cap that would stay in place by friction and cover the end of the rail. Several places I have found over the web are distributors and want to sell me 1,000 (only need about 12) and no hardware stores localy here in Denver seem to carry them. The internal diameter of the tubes is 1 3/4". Anyone know of where I might be able to get hooked up with some end caps that would fit the bill?

Thanks in advance

Michael,

Check in the store isle that has different rubber caps for table legs, I just bought a 1/2 dozen 1 3/4 end caps for table legs at the local Ace for about 5 bucks, I used for a different application, but they are indeed an 1 3/4 inside.

I found a web site that sells a wide variety of insert end caps like I wanted that fit perfectly at $1.50 each. Check them out:
