Hi Bob,

Yah, $90 bucks EACH last time I checked, so that's $180 per column... and then the labor!!

I don't have the article you mentioned and I've yet to get around to seeing if the 1/4 or 3/8 inch diameter nylon spacers with center drilled hole would work as a long term substitute and then do a 337. The bearing underneath the rubber cap has an offset for adjustment and that might be a problem using the nylon spacers.

Maybe take the rubber cap that fell out to a hardware store stateside someplace or a specialty screw shop and see if there's something out there that would adapt itself.

I guess in the meantime maybe a single layer of black electrical tape or fiberglass filament tape applied tightly and overlapped will save the anodized black tube from getting scratched and scraped by the bare metal bearing???
