I lost one of the rubber feet for my push/pull in the bowels of a stinky bar last night. Can anyone direct me to a place where I could get a couple (soon)?I don't know if these are standard, but the outer dimension of the metal tube is 5/8" and the inner dimension of the rubber foot is 13/16. Also, can anyone suggest a way to keep those buggers on a bit more snugly? They tend to come off somewhat regularly.
I could have sworn that I saw this topic before, but a search came up empty.
Thanks in advance! |

Lawrence, I found those in a four pack at Ace Hardware in Panama City Beach,FL. about +- $2.98/pack. You might try Ace in your area. |

Our local "Krogers" or "Fred Meyer", have 3/4" crutch tips. The 3M rolled adhesive, ( foam type sticky tape) wrapped around the legs takes up the space really well. They are longer and beefier than regular ones, but work good in a pinch. As you find the original types, a little bit of hairspray or spray paint will lock them on. It's an old harley handgrip trick.

I keep a can af Aqua Net hairspray around to make rubber stick to metal. Works like glue, about 99 cents a can. |

Stand by & I'll look for it tonight. But better yet, have you gone back today? The light is better and the pool table will probably be moved so you can get a better look. |

I get mine at Walmart, walking cane tips, they have different sizes available.
Hair spry does wonders to keep them on.

I use walking cane feet(white or black; usually white) found at Walmart/Ace Hardware/True Value...etc. They are size 5/8" and usually a couple wraps of electrical tape on the end and fold it in the end, so the sharp edges of the metal don't cut into the rubber; and put it on.

Ricky's idea is good, I normally use small metal washers , or dimes will work also in the rubber tips to prevent the legs from cutting through so easily.Bob  |

Thanks all! Jon, are you implying that the Hank's porter staff doesn't scrupulously clean every night? Well, if you happen to see one rolling around tonight, grab if for me. Otherwise I'll follow some of these other avenues.
