Metal Guide rail needed
« on: August 15, 2009, 02:43:55 PM »
Hey all,

Wondering if anyone might have one of these spare lying around?
It has to be 44mm ( 1' 12/16 inch ) from hole to hole.

Cheers if you can help.

Hey Wotto,

I have have successfully used bike spokes in the past... All depends on thickness !

You could make one for the current time until you find one.. !@#

I was thinking the same thing . If you could source some stainless steel wire that is the same thickness and make up a little jig to bend it on so it stays nice and straight .

Head off to a hobby shop - they have "piano wire" in many diameters. It is tough stuff to bend, a vice and a mallet is the minimum equipment to get it to obey!

Cheers
