OK I’m cramped for time and aim to go full goose bozo for next year so I’m improvising a lot. On a tight budget? Well I found an alternative replacement if you’re in a bind. Tractor supply Co. has some rubber dust covers for hydraulic hoses in black, green, and red. Just cut off the retaining strap thingy, cut out the center to slide the hose in, and sew her on. The only draw back is that the hose that fits tight in it is 5/8 inch o.d., 1/2 i.d. readily available at Lowes or Home Depot. The dust caps are 2 to a packk so if you luch one you get another try. $3.99 a pack. Hope this saves someone some grief. Have fun!!

I’m assuming these are what you’re talking about?

These could also work for a poor man’s barrel spacer, [trigger tip](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/trigger-tip) ring, and [red tubing](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/14-tubing-red) assembly (with a little paint of course).
