Send me exact dimensions on a drawing and I can turn that out for you for the cost of shipping. I have lots of scrap aluminum rod that I can use.

I have this mechanism (details not important) that is actuated with a rope, probably 3/16" parachute cord. The rope will exit out of a wood cabinet through a round hole. The problem is the pull on the rope will be almost at 90 degrees from the axis of the hole causing it to rub on the edge of the hole which will make the rope wear out and cause lots of friction. What I am looking for is some kind of metal insert I can put in the hole that will have a large inside radius to give the rope a smooth surface to ride on. I know a pulley would be the ideal solution but that would make the cabinet unattractive and the force on the rope will be less than 20 lbs so I think it should work fine with just some kind of bushing in the hole. The larger the radius the better this should work. I'm hoping to find something made out of either Stainless steel or Brass. I guess a plastic would be ok too but I would rather it be metal. What I had in mind was something with a similar cross section to the attached drawing. I could just have a machine shop put a radius on a brass bushing but I would rather not have to do that, and I haven't found a bushing with a thick enough wall to get as large of a radius as I would like, 1/4" or larger. do not archive -- Chris W KE5GIX "Protect your digital freedom and privacy, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm" Ham Radio Repeater Database. http://hrrdb.com Checked by AVG. 8:27 AM Checked by AVG. 8:27 AM ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:53:06 AM PST US From: "Brian Meyette" Subject: RE: RV-List: OT: help looking for a part I meant to say "as you titled the picture" - an di see someone else has offered to turn one out for you - should be quick & easy, based on your pic brian -----Original Message----- From: Brian Meyette [mailto:bmeyette@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 10:44 AM Subject: RE: RV-List: OT: help looking for a part As you titled the email, it's just a bushing that anyone with a lathe can easily make for you in a few minutes -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Chris W Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 12:53 PM Subject: RV-List: OT: help looking for a part Totally non aviation related but if the part I am looking for exists, I'm sure someone here knows where to get it.

Subject: Re: RV-List: OT: help looking for a part If you have a quick change tool post on your lathe and a holder with a drill chuck, you can use a corner rounding end mil to make the radius. Would take maybe five minutes to setup and cut. Regards, Bob Japundza RV-6 flying F1 under const.
