Rub rail caps...

[ScottyCee]

I think I'll shine these old ones up, paint em black, and use over again. None of the ones that I see look like these. The broken part doesn't show unless you're looking straight up at it. Maybe some day I'll find something. Same story with the table support parts...

I know there is another thread about this topic, but I found this one first. I have started on my end caps project, so I thought I would follow up.

They look like this compared to the old. These are not welded or polished yet, but they will be welded on the inside and I expect them to shine right up. Not that easy hammering the tubing into the shape of the rubrail!

Closing this thread and keeping discussion of rub rail end caps in this one: https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/looking-to-buy-rub-rail-end-caps.29357/

edit: added finished pic. I didn't have the patience to take out all of the bigger scratches. But they look pretty good from a few feet away lol.

Looks good from my house! Seriously though, very nice.

Thanks. Cost was ~$2.00 in materials and about 7 hours of work. 8^)

My 272 rub rail measures 1.5” x 1.5”, and having performed many Google and Amazon searches I have yet to see what appears to be an appropriate replacement rail cap. Any suggestions? Are they measured differently or something?

thanks in advance!

This company makes 90% of all rub rails for the factories, they had one for my Bimini ..
