I started a new thread since several members have been talking about them loading up ScareMongers rebuild thread...
Maybe GRF can post his pics here...
Obssesing over the type of plastic to use, I've been looking over McMaster-Carr website....http://www.mcmaster.com/#
I want to throw out some questions...
Can anyone tell me which is better for this application (of roll cages)
Nylon 6/6 vs. Delrin vs PVC? Hamster, which did you order?
The nylon is a little harder with a greater tensile strength and wider operating temps.
Delrin is less resistant to moisture and chemicals...But PVC rod has the best impact strength with less tensile stregth
Unfortunately the way their site is designed I cannot link directly to the item
but if you put in the number in their search you can read about them.
PVC part # 87025K29 - 1.04 / ft
Delrin part # 8576K13 - .89 / ft
Nylon part # 8538K16 - .64 / ft
Thoughts from the masses?...Seems PVC with the better impact strength may be the best although the most expensive?
Also never heard of anyone using PVC to 'heat bend' so I'm not sure.
