Premium Members Osvaldo Silvera SOC Posted March 18, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi folks. In the past I would get the post clamps from GPI along with a black delrin disc that slid over the arm post and rest on the docking clamp, making it easier for the gimbal arm to slide around when using arms like the 3A which does not have the "power steering" adjustment. GPI no longer stocks these. anyone know what the part number would be for these and where? McMaster Carr maybe? Thanks, Ozzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members nick franco Posted March 19, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Having trouble linking but yes, McMaster has some different delrin/nylon washers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Peter Hoare Posted March 22, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Also try IGUS. They do a lot of plastic bearings, made out of a slippery self lubricating plastic. They have a pretty big catalogue of stock washers, one of them is bound to fit....

Premium Members Brant S. Fagan SOC Posted March 22, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Why not try thrust washers with a .625" (5/8") bore? I have stacks of them in my AKS and keep a bunch on each post in my arm post bag on the stand. Or use that Baldwin sauce... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Janice Arthur Posted March 22, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hi all; I've also used thrust bearings like brant has described and they work really well. Have a good 2014. Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
