EMERGENCY - where to get 2" plastic tube end caps??

Hello knowledgable ones - here's a challenge for you...

Taking a test rig to Denmark next week, and due to an unfortunate tape-measure fault we just had to cut a couple of inches off the legs to fit in our hired tranny van . Would be awesome to get some of those caps/plugs that you can use to tidy up cut tube ends. 4 required for 50mm box section. Where on earth do you get them from though?? Anybody in bedford area got any kicking around. Need them by Sunday morning latest.

Cheers

Liam

Don't know if they could get them to you that quickly though.

Sorry re-read but they do them for box section as well.

Hmmm either of those sort of things would be good - square of course though. No time for ebay or post I dont think. Drawing blanks from local suppliers and even fabricators on industrial estates etc etc. Oh well we'll just have to try hard not to scratch the floor of carlsberg brewery

I've bought some of those from B & Q before - ours is a big warehouse one, they were in the section where they keep the steel box section
