Custom UTV

[Depmandog]

that's a good information site, but unfortunately they don't have the size that I need. I need 1.5 ID to 1.75 OD. I was hoping to get a tube of it and just cut the length I need. But that's proving to be difficult. But it does appear that plastics are the way to go.

UHMW-PE

They don't appear to stock in tube, but they do have rods of 1.75". Drill the ID, and you are set. 24" for $15.38 is reasonable enough. This stuff is very durable and the PE is temp resistant. Check the specs, I think this should work.

it shouldn't be too difficult to put it on the lathe. It does cut real nice. It might be my only option To use a plastic material.

Yeah the nylon should work well for this application.

Yes that is what I'm going to use, I have got the pieces already. It's just a matter of putting them on the late.
