the end caps made from teflon,they sell it here with variant diameters 1-5 inch,so just choose the diameter and how thick we want they just cut it off and selling by KG not PCS,
i just make place for seal,and hole cup inside!
do u think teflon or plastic better for WTC end caps?

Cool, I drew up plans for a los angelas class sub
made out of PVC pipeing. By the way, how did you do the clear
plastic? did you buy it that way or cast it on your own?
And I have no idea about which cap is better. As long as
water stays out, it's fine.
