getaway Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Does anyone know of a source of end caps for external trims and extrusions? My elderly motorhome has lost odd bits so spoils the appearance. olearymotorhomes.co.uk has a good selection, but their minimum p&p is £9.99 for a letter weight Jiffy bag!

Guest pelmetman Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 £9.99 is peanuts ;-) ....... What does your missus spend on looking presentable?........ Besides how old is you elderly motorhome? ;-) ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If a tenner sorts your problem you will have got away very lightly! Many years ago I made an end cap for an elderly coachbuilt rubbing strake out of a hardwood offcut and painted black and stuck in place it looked OK! I originally intended to use the wooden thingy to make a mould and cast one out of plastic padding or similar filler but it looked good enough in wood bearing in mind it was an elderly van even back then so I didn't bother and sold the van instead!

On the same theme ;-) .......Our gas locker lock protrudes further than the Aluminium framing of the door.......So first windy day the bodywork got a dent 8-) ......... Fixed it with a plain white no sew hole button that I cut the back off and stuck on with some double sided tape B-) .......... It's still there 26.5 years later.........As I can see it from Cynthia's settee :D ........which I would be able spread out on if it wasn't for the dog *-) ..........
