I think you covered it all well. I'm always one for putting in improvements when possible and definitely in cases where you can still look stock but use newer tech. I don't know what AMark uses for material, but the other vendor is using "bubble gum and plaster" for bushings (IMHO). Acetel parts in these new configurations have 4-5 times times the contact surface, better strength and better support than even the best original stock parts. So neh neh ne neh heh. :) |

What is the width at the widest part where it bolts to the guide plate?
I'm thinking about buying 2" Acetal rod and turning it down with my lathe and then finishing by milling the shape and drill the mount holes by hand with a template.
I've got 3 javelins in need of some attention.

2" is too small
I bought 2.5" and will be machining a few sets soon. |

I was afraid of that, at least with the larger diameter there's more to play with and way cheaper than the 1" thick sheet.

Did any of the major suppliers want to get on board and help out? How about PG Classics? They seem to offer some reproduction AMC parts now and might want to get in on an exclusive part.

Ken, to reduce costs for mass production but still provide a much better product than what is out there have you thought about reducing the original stock to 1/2"? It would result in a faster mill time as well with less material to remove. Another methoed would be to use the acetal rod as original stock resulting in less waste in acetal and again reducing mill work to drilling your center hole and routering and drilling the lip. I am out of ideas for potential cost reductions.
