Nylon Tuners

Just a fresh pic and explanation.
These are entirely different to the widely available white Hex plastic(styrene) jobs.
The attached pic shows the same length of material being tightened on the white ones. I think it is self explanatory.
Mine are 1 3/8" or 35mm (they can be halved if you're using with spacers) and drilled for 1/8" or 3/32" rod.
£1.25 each shown in packs of 10 but you can have what you like.

Nylon 101 is currently the strongest material for machining on the market.

The last ones went to Paul Brennan in Ireland, his had to be drilled slightly differently as Zum use an in-between rod size. I'm sure he won't mind me saying he was thrilled with them and told me he had got back some good licks when it got back to full compliment!

Hi Bob,

I have an old Springfield S10, for which I need new nylon tuners. They've been impossible to find; I believe they are imperial, although I believe the guitar was built in Scotland in the 70's, and probably what psgparts.com calls a #5 tuning nut.

Basically the rods are 1/8" thick, with what looks like a 5-40 thread but with a 32 TPI (0,8333threads/mm), and the nylon nuts are 3/16" hex, with a length of around 1-3/4" (45mm).

I've attached some pictures of my caliber measuring them as well as the thread on the rods, hoping that you'd be able to spot any mistakes I've made.

Would you be able to make a stack of tuners for me? I won't need more than 30...

kind regards, Peder
