A recommended place to get tubing caps

Mark Harley

Many parts of our trailer builds require tubing that is round, rectangular or square in
shape. I needed to finish off the ends of the 1" x 2" tubing I used for my RTT rack on my M101A2 build.
so I headed to my favorite store Ebay and typed the search in.

I found a seller that carries many sizes of tubing plugs and other neat hardware.
corner guards, handles, latches, rubber feet, plugs, straps, handles, caps and sleeves are some other items they sell.

I ordered the sizes I need and they arrived fast and look great
Here is the seller I found them at. Tell them Mark Harley sent you!

Ordering up a few 2x2 caps for the square tubing under the Harbor Freight tongue box! Nice site!

For round tube and weld on applications I find steel freeze plugs cap off tubing nicely. Cheap and in every auto parts store there is. Either find the right size that slips in or find a flush fit edge to edge. Flip them over with the round side out and install.

I always keep the tubed ends closed by weldering one end to each other. :coffee:

Sometimes it make sense to close ends with inlays and drill threads in it.

It takes some more time while producing but will keep you off about problems afterwards. :coffeedrink:
And it helps to get the fluids in and out when zinc plated!

Sorry, being a little late about this. :coffee:
