    Is this the sort of thing you're talking about, Nathan?

    Chaiguy,

    I have found the easiest material to use is the plastic pipes that come with aerosol cans. It cuts easily, and is self-lubricating.

    You have to search about a bit to find ones with the correct outside and inside diameters.

    Others use brass/copper tube.

    Best regards

    Russ

    What I have found is that the pivot holes can be of different sizes. Therefore I have used JB Weld and fill the pivot hole, sand it flush and re drill it to the size I want. Saves a lot of figuring out on what size tube I need.
