Nylon sheet

Post by j.d.roost »

Did a search but there is too many post with the word "nylon" in it..
I am looking to fab up a set of a-arms for my hotshot. I need to buy some nylon sheet. Does anyone know what type of nylon I need )6/6 ect)? How about a good (cheap) source for it in the usa?
Thanks in advance.

try mcmaster carr. either nylon (6/6 is common) or delrin (acetal). probably 1/4" thick or 3/8" thick will be sufficient.

very local to Philly area. Warehouse in central NJ, I order stuff and get it within 2 days. may not be the cheapest for small qty's, but easily the quickest and simplest.

i would also recommend mcmaster carr. i live in a small town(small minded) and have to find sources for 2mm, and 3mm stuff. i placed an order by 5:30pm and had it by noon the next day. very quick and has everything in-stock.
