Mark, So the legs are cut from 11/32 rode. I'd said polyetheleyene, but as I recall now it's very slick material. I'm thinking now it's more likely PTFE rod.
The length was likely meant to be cut to 2-1/8, as your measurement is 1/64th short of that. That much could easily be lost with a quick buffing to smooth the ends. There are rubber end caps available for 11/32 rod, based on a very quick Google search while on my phone. The exact ones may be out there, but there is sure to be close enough.

Alas, my T200 is in storage right now, or I'd measure the legs for you. Good news, everybody! I happened to still be at home when I read this, so I can measure one of my M100 legs in the very brief window of time before something else distracts me. Mine are the white plastic variety with black rubber feet on the end. Rod diameter: 0.34" 11/32" 8.63mm Rod length (not including rubber foot): 2.115" 2-7/64" 53.7mm Rod length (including rubber foot): 2.325" 2-21/64" 59mm Rubber foot outer diameter: (installed): 0.5" 1/2" 12.7mm Rubber foot length: 0.842" 27/32" 21.4mm I'm not sure about the material, but it kind of feels like delrin to me. I can't tell if it's glass-filled. From the tool marks, it appears to be rod stock that was sawn to length. Sadly, it's not one of the standard plastic rod diameters carried at McMaster-Carr. It should be easy to print a functional replacement on a 3D printer, or turn a nearly identical reproduction on a lathe if suitable rubber feet can be found. -- Mark J.
