Default Sheave material

Well, I do have access to "country" machine shop that is reasonble, but I
think I can find a stock size close enough, maybe even be more suitable than
the original.

Thanks all.
I will be trying the GFN for one sheave anyway, but will get a delrin
alternate as well . Size may determine which ends up being used, as they
bracket the original sheave in diameter.


Garland, do you have a machinist friend, or maybe a hobbiest friend with a
lathe? Making a sheave from a chunk of Delrin is trivial, or aluminum, or
brass, stainless is a bit trickier, not to mention expensive.

Cheers
Martin (have lathe, will travel)
