Evening All:

I have been searching, unsuccessfully, for METAL end caps for some square tube I am using. I have found a bazillion plastic ones, I even have some, but I kinda think metal will stand up to the heat better than plastic.

There are round metal endcaps, end plugs, etc but I cannot locate square ones. I am looking for 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch.

Does anyone have a place I can find some? Thanks.

RiskDude.
