I just received my order for Mudhole's carbon fiber grips, including the butt grips, and did not realize that the butt grips were not capped - i.e. they are exposed to the blank on the bottom. Any advice on a means to fill in the end, in a manner that looks good? Trying to come up with some creative solutions.

Thanks

So obvious I didn't think of it. Will give it a whirl to find the right size. Was also thinking about cutting a piece of a foam block as filler.

You can also go to an auto parts store and get interior plastic plugs Get the size of the ID of the blank end a little glue and push it in

David,
if its the same carbon tubes i got then the outside diameter is almost that of a wine cork/stopper. Little effeort to turn/sand stoppers down and use as arbor/s but leave about a 1/2 inch sticking out as an endcap about an inch inside.
Regular walking stick end caps fit perfectly too.
Turned piece of cedar is light and looks good.

there ya go Custom cap

Thanks everyone. That's what makes this the best site going!

I use butt plug caps from Lowes located where all the screws etc are at. I haven't used the mudhole grips, but I assume these will work. Look for the drawer with automotive parts at Lowes.

if you want a larger selection than Lows try a auto parts store they carry a bunch of that stuff , it is used in the car;s to day to hold the plastic parts in place you might have to build up the center part of the blank or cut the plub down to fit { as you need ] a drunnel tool wil help a lot in making it fit

If you want simple do the plastic plugs
