plastic rings

[jrobie79]

Does anyone make/cut plastic spacer rings? I need 2 black plastic spacer rings:

OD 6 7/8"
ID 5 1/4"
3/8" thick,

Anyone know anyone who could do this?

No idea on cost. But there are lots of plastic manufacturers around the country. I have used ridout plastics for custom plastic pieces for electronics before.

i sent a couple emails to guys on ebay who custom cut king starboard, figured i'd give someone on r3v the business if possible. i'll look into that rideout place.

Any place with a water jet can do this. Check your yellow pages.

damn one place quoted me $200 and another $120...is it really that expensive to zip out two plastic rings?

not if you want 10k pieces but set up time etc costs $$$$$

Get some 3/8" black plastic, cut them out with a sabre saw, and clean up the edges with a file.

this thread just made me wonder why people don't make wheel spacers out of delrin.


any comments on that?

[pandaboo911]

Because delrin is squishy.

[evandael]

all the delrin i've ever held was pretty hard.

Not compared to aluminum. While they would work, they would deteriorate, and unless you kept an eye on them, could cause problems. I bet they would cause the wheel bolts to loosen due to expanding/contacting due to temperature.

[pandaboo911]

it'll probably melt if you go hard on the brakes too.

G10/Garolite I bet would work well, though it would likely be just as expensive as aluminum, if not more.
