I need about a metre of 1" or 25mm square Nylon Bar to make steering column bushes. Searched around on the 'net but can only find round bar or 1" sheet nylon at £60+ quid

Cheers,

I'll have a look tomorrow.
Does it really have to be square?
I've deffinately got some 2" dia Delrin

You could try

College engineering supply

They don't list square section nylon on their site, but I know they do all sorts of shapes - I bought some from them at a show a few months ago!

Shouldn't be more than a couple of quid (hopefully)

Hi Gents,

Thanks for the responses.

Hi

would you be able to use a couple of hose clamps, found a pic of a double one, they do single ones in loads of sizes

Thanks Rash.

If I don't have any luck with the nylon bar from the sources mentioned by David and Snoopy I'll get back to you if that's okay.

Thanks again for the input guys.

Mart.

Hi Mart

I got a similar clamp to my picture from a hydraulics hose shop

Problem sorted

Thanks for the input guys.

Had a chat with the guy at my local engineering place this afternoon while I was picking up some other stuff. Asked if they could machine the nylon for me once I'd got it and he said not only could he machine it but could supply it as well. Turns out he stocks it and does quite a bit of work fabricating nylon components for companies already. If I give him a sketch with dimensions he'll knock it up for me!

Thanks again,

Mart.
