    Hi everyone – I’ve been lurking in the back ground for a while now reading all the great topics.

    I need some help now on identifying who sells the post caps shown in the attached photos – I need to replace some broken ones and cannot find out who sells these.

    Any help would be great appropriate.

    Thanks

    You might get more help if you stick up a picture of the posts rather than the post cap, lots of different companies making these systems & a lot of them are very similar. The cap itself might not be enough for people to recognise.
    If you have the toolbar installed then have a look through the suoppliers & contact a few the likes of Ashby, Spandex etc.

    Hi again Robert,

    We do some work with a company that make something similar, but they only do wholesale. If you have no other leads to go on, I may be able to persuade them to help out.

    On the basis of what you have given me, you have a metal 83 x 83mm square-section tube with wall thickness of 2.5mm.

    Is the cap required to prevent water/rain getting inside; is it to protect the top of the tube (eg against injury); or is it purely decorative?

    Your old cap is Black. Is that the colour you need now?

    What sort of quantity are you looking for?

    You can put your answers below, or if you prefer, you can try sending me a pm (I think this works for us suppliers)
