Plastic Caps & Covers
Hellfire - 12/11/03 at 08:52 PM

Just received my latest copy of "What's New in Industry" and come across a full page of 'em!

No online catalogue but they make the bolts covers required for SVA. Also, the 1" square chassis bung thingies...

No online catalogue....

I just can't believe that companies don't spread there warez on the net. I searched last week for Pop rivets. I didn't want to go out and "shop" for them. I just wanted a box of 500 or so to keep me going with my build.

so where did I go..... google...... search for "pop rivets"

Found loads of companies.... found loads of contact numbers... loads of e-mail addresses.... found loads of CRAP.

All I wanted to do was order some pop rivets. I didn't want to read the company profile. I didn't want to see where they were... cos they were no-where near me. I didn't want to see how the company started. I just wanted to buy some pop rivets.

WAKE up you morons...... get some business sense.... SELL your goods. Don't inform us about you. If we wanted to know about you we would ask. We just want what you do. We don't want to know the "storey".

Rant mode off......

New question..... can anyone give me a web address where I can purchase plastic caps for 1" and 3/4" tube?

For 1" try Towsure

as for the 3/4"... if you only need a few you could try asking for some free samples from these people - Moss Plastics

there is a simple link on thee website - I chanced my arm by asking for loads - but they sent me 2 of each of the 5 types i had expressed an interest in - 10 free plugs

Got your link Bob, thanks. Was already aware however, they seem to have a monopoly on this product wouldn't you say?

Yes,for bulk packets i've not seen any others around.The price is good though compared to buying seperate nut covers.

Could try http://www.comdir.co.uk/products/6032/020/

500 is a bit too many for my chassis.

Might be ok for Joel P though..;-)

Forget the TOWSURE caps....

just found out to my cost that they are designed for thick wall tube and are no good for our purposes
