Fender console needs a foot

Post by Keith Cordell »

Does anybody know where I can order replacement feet for my 53 fender dual pro? The only ones I can find are 1 inch and that seems too big

I believe those are 5/8 in. I have 3 left. Black, old 'Bud style. I can scrounge around and see if I can rob one somewhere. These should fit your guitar. See link below.

Some members state finding them at the hardware store, but I can't find the correct size in my area that way. Lemme know if I can help.

Try your local hardware store, you can find crutch tips in several diameters.

Hi Keith, my 52 Dual 8 Fender has 5/8" diameter lower leg tubes. McMaster Carr has several 5/8" rubber end cap options.

Here's a link to the McMaster -Carr choices available: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/floor ... eg-od~5-8/

The ones on my Fender are black, fluted style similar to the "Style 2" shown. I think the ones on my rig may be original as I have never changed them and have owned it since the mid 70's. The flutes molded on the sides of the fender end caps don't go fully up the sides like the Style 2 drawing shows - but overall look very similar. The reinforced versions have a metal washer in the inside , and are nice as the washer prevents the leg tube from cutting through the end.

The smooth ones that they offer look nice too. The style is pretty close to the smooth shaped caps used on early ZB's.

I have bought rubber furniture caps that work perfectly for my Fender steel guitars. Here are the ones Ace carries but I have also found them at Home Depot.
