Abstract
An end cap adapted to be inserted into one end of a hydraulic cylinder having a body of plastic material defining a bore open at one end thereof and an end wall at the other end thereof closing the bore. A cylindrical tube is positioned within the bore and a piston is reciprocal within the tube. The end cap sandwiches the tube between the end cap and the end wall and the end cap includes radially extending circumferentially spaced ribs which collapse against the tube as the end cap is inserted into the cylinder.
