Dip station

[inchpincher]

Thinking of making a dip station based on the Body Solid machine pictured below. Any ideas where I can get the rubberery material for the grips or the feet/end caps for the base?

Thanks

Hello Inchpincher,

why not use rubber hose for the handles, I've bough tube caps off e-bay before now.

Had a lateral brainwave, cricket bat grips!

It's the end caps which are also feet that raise the lower supporting beams off the ground slightly that I'm after, more googling maybe.... Thanks piman

Handles use Motor cycles grips, or squash, tennis , tape.

Glue some of this on the bottom.

End caps from trailer supplies.

Can't you just screw some rubber cabinet feet onto the bottoms of the rails?

Something like these? http://www.bpfittings.co.uk/pc/Square-External-Fitting-Display-Stand-off-Feet-c3129.htm

Other brands are available...

These people have a bewildering variety of plastic parts and fittings - probably too much choice, if anything;

Not sure about minimum order quantities though
