Need help with older Lista Cabinet restore

I recently purchased an older style Lista cabinet that matches one that I previously restored. The problem is that the handles and end caps aren't available anymore. For my latest cabinet, I need 4 pairs of the end caps. These are the ones that fit the older handles with the visible holes through the handles. Some people who have several missing caps elect to remove all of them so that they have a uniform look. I'm hoping that someone has some spares that they can sell or trade me for some older style Vidmar end caps. Thanks in advance.

The one on the left with wheels is the one I need the end caps for. The one on the right is the one I previously restored.

Here is a close-up of the handles and end caps.

This is a pic of the newer and older style Lista end caps. I need the older style on the right.

These are the Vidmar cabinets prior to restore that I have some of the handles and end caps for.

And here is how they look after the restore. I replaced all of the handles with the newer style.

I painted them dark blue to match the Saber cabinet line that I am probably going to use in my garage. Here is a sample of them.

Try Joe @ American Workspace. He’s a member here and a Lista dealer. From what I understand he sometimes has some hard to get pieces

That seems like a likely part to 3D print. I bet if you sent an old one to someone on one of the printing services, they could duplicate it and print a bunch of them.

That's a great idea (3D print them). I'll look into that if I can't find any. Thanks

Do they both fit the same Handle? Would like to update mine to the newer style.
