So I want to replace the end caps on the N5.2 but since the cost of replacements from Murrays is through the roof, that’s if you can even find them, I decided to make my own. I was going to follow the path that Nacraman57 took, he made very good looking white cap, but ended up with a different design. I found black 3” PVC pipe cap at the HD which has a very think side wall, so I set up a router table to take off just enough material so the cut down piece fits into the beam just perfect. I think I like the way these fit better the factory ones I have.









I posted the setup and end result in the tech section but if you don’t have a router table and would like a set let me know.

Nice work. I edited your pictures to link to the larger versions and added a link to your album so folks could see the details. Thanks for taking time to take pictures and share them with the community!

Great solution Jeff.
If you are bored one rainy afternoon, set up your jig & turn out a dozen. There have always been people here looking for end caps.
I'm sure they will sell.
