This is a random question, but with my swords going in and out of storage, I've managed to lose a few of the rubber guard/caps that go on the UC sword plaques. Anyone know where I could pick up some of those or something similar...?

Do you mean the little clear plastic guards that you place on the hooks where the sword rests?

I'd imagine you can probably buy them in a small pack at most hardware stores. For the pieces where the sword's crossguard rests, any small diameter piece of clear plastic tubing would do. Pet stores usually have plenty of those for aquariums.

Thanks for the tip Val! I've looked at my local Lowes but couldn't find anything. And the fellow I asked for help was less than useful. Wasn't sure if there was a place that people had picked them up before.

I picked up the clear tubing on Ebay really cheap (around £4.00 for 5 meters, which is enough for hundreds of mini lengths for swords) I needed it for my Sting case project (incidentally, I have an MC Sting on its way to me now, should arrive tomorrow, so I may be looking to sell my regular Sting and the case I made!) just make sure you get 4mm internal diameter. I bought the 3mm and it was too tight, also check the wall thickness is no more than 1mm, otherwise it gets too chunky. I never had any luck on the rubber end pieces though, so if anyone out there has, let us know!
