My roof rail end caps vanished…
- Thread starter B1gflip
- Start date
I got used ones for my coach, from Sirum GMC. It looks like a part that could be readily 3-D printed, if someone would do it ; )
I was thinking someone had already modeled some end caps for 3D printing, but maybe that was for the belt trim? Hmm...
I'm not sure if they're hard to come by or not. I would try posting in the Parts Wanted section. There are several of us that have parts coaches laying around.

Yes indeed, I knew this all sounded familiar:

If you don't have a printer, you can order prints from a print-house. Or if you don't mind waiting, I can print some. One thing I do recommend is NOT making them from PLA. It doesn't do well with UV or moisture, but is everyone's favorite filament. PETG would probably do much better. There are even better alternatives that cost more and are harder to print, but I've only dabbled in PLA and PETG so far.

Yea I don’t like the idea of plastic, so I’ve been watching videos on aluminum casting haha.Yes indeed, I knew this all sounded familiar:

That's fun too! I filled my intake with aluminum earlier this year. A great excuse to get the foundry. I haven't messed with any sand casting yet though.
