[Public-List] track car slides

[J Bergquist]

John Maliszewski made a presentation on exactly this subject at the mtc.
seminar. He had ordered some delrin spacers from McMaster Carr (
www.mcmaster.com) and was going to use these. I thought it seemed like a
very elegant solution...no rot, low friction, easy to machine.

Later,

JB
