Title: Best prices for parts
Post by: Mike Kieffer on December 28, 2010, 09:24:55 am
I was just wondering if any one had any ideas on distributors that had good prices on thing like locking collars and other parts like that. we should all post the best places to buy parts when we find them. every little bit helps when your on a budget.

ABS Plastic is very strong. But for almost the same price as aluminum ones not really worth the risk, now if they were like 10 for 8 it would be worth it to see if they worked.

Since they have threaded inserts for the bolts I'd imagine they would be fine for what were doing

How about St. Croix Chassis www.stcroixchassis.webs.com I sell the steel 1 1/4" split lock with out the key for $4.25 each or I also sell the 1 1/4" Aluminum split collars with 1/4" keyway for $4.75 each.

Prices are plus shipping, I don't play shipping games, I like to use flate rate boxes where possible or UPS for the larger orders. Check out my site, give me a call with any questions; I am still updating my site so there are many things not back on it right now. I stock all the good parts to help build your mowchines at the best possible prices. Give me a call if there is something you need a price on if it's not listed on the site.

Thanks,
