Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Where can I get rod guides for 7/16 galvanized rod, that is used inside pvc sch 80 1 1/4 drop pipe? I've searched and searched. If you know for sure who has them, let me know. Thanks! ( no need to tell where to search, just say who has them for sure.)

Not familiar with this subject but is it possible to make wood ones or some off a 3d printer or what ever those things are that make plastic pieces ??

George Kemp 719-342-5722 in Cheyenne Wells CO (I think, somewhere around that area) does windmill and pump repair. You could give him a call.

Thanks guys

Windy,

Have you tired Nix MFG in Stephenville, TX? I just bought some 7/16" galvanized rod from them without guides.

Hey jerry. Alan nix called me and we discussed guides at length. He's going to see what it takes to make them up, as he does not have those. However I know that making a mold is VERY expensive. I told him that you would certainly buy 500,000 of them if he can make them. Of course I will buy 25.

HAHA just kidding. But he will get back to me. Thanks.

ps I had a chinese company get back to me about them, but they would need to make a mold also. Plus, SO far away......

if you have a drawing/specs I do machine parts

They are made from plastic, urethane, pvc, etc.
