I've been looking at my chain slider, and it has seen better days. NOS is 125 bucks on ebay.
Did anyone ever make a replacement?
If not, I'm pretty sure I could get a block of Delrin like they use in paintball guns for firing bolts...cut it into the general shape...and then work it over with a dremel.
or does anyone know a better material.
I think that the delrin would wear very well...
the only issue is it requires a fairly large amount of material to place an order.
If I do make one, and post some pics up, would anyone be interested in purchasing one? make offers if so...
delrin is a very wear resistant plastic that also has an extremely low friction coefficient...
we've run them in paintball guns with minimal grease firing 4-5k shots a day, with no wear on the alluminum or delrin.
