I need some plastic caps for 1" tubing.

I bought some, but they are made for thin wall tube (1/16) and I use 1/8" wall tube. There is not enough material on the cap to shave it down.

Any know of a source for such a thing?

First link doesnt work. And the second link doesnt have (or atleast I cant find) plugs for thicker wall tubing.

Anyone else? :confused:

Is this 1" OD tubing? If so shove a 7/8" drill bit in the tip of the tubing and make the caps you have fit that way? Otherwise get the metal caps that have the little fingers on them, you should be able to bend those around enough to make them fit. Or get some 3/4" round stock plastic (where, i don't know...hobbie shop?, plastics supplier), cut it to lenght and beat it in to the end of the tubing.
