Wefco rubrail

I'm going to be installing the Wefco rubrail on my E27 and need the 2 end caps at the stern as well as the caps or cap for the bow. Does any one know if a cap is availible that wraps around the bow? I currently have wood which is damaged and it has the original two caps at the stern, but the Wefco is larger so not sure if I can use the 2 existing. The wood rail at the bow ends with a straight cut and suggest it must have had some type of cap. There's no indication that there was a bow cap, but the bow at some point had repair which could explain the lack of evidence. Any ideas?

Good Old Boat magazine had an article in May 2007 on how to replace a bow trim casting with a piece of PVC electrical conduit that has been filled with sand and heated in an oven to assist in bending it to the proper shape.

Why not just make a little male mold. Lay on some light cloth and epoxy. Fair it out and trim to fit. Paint it white. No more corrosion problems.

Just looked through my pile of papers and can't find the numbers, but if you call Wefco the guy I spoke with knew the numbers. He mentioned that he receives a lot of business from this site.
Thanks everyone for the tips,
Don
