I bought some TEFLON bar 35mm and used the lathe at work to make my own crashbungs! The material was initially white, but I painted it a gray base coating and later a glossy black.
Here are the results











ABSOLUTELY NO COMPARISON TO NICK'S ONES (HE IS A REAL PRO, AND THOSE ARE JUST PERFECT) I JUST THOUGHT OF MAKING MY OWN

Looks good to me - have you thought if the teflon might make good chain rollers?

Great stuff George, are you going into production?

I also read somewhere of someone using Skate board wheels, I know they come in all sort of colours and finishes.

thanks for the kind comments my good friends!
Colin, Nick's crashbungs are among the official forum items, (I can't even compete his marvellous work) ...plus I was lucky enough NOT to get caught at work while doing those .. so..... not production plans for this one
