Walter Biles Posted May 22, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2013 Does anyone know where I could order some small brass sheaves for RC Running Rigging?

russ Posted May 22, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2013 Check with Bluejacket Shipcrafters. I am not sure what size you need, but they sell some brass sheaves last I looked.

Walter Biles Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted May 28, 2013 Thank you Russ, Janos. I checked JB. I suspect that the shipping alone would overshadow the price of the parts, which I can't calculate. Then I checked Bluejacket Shipcrafters. They had up to 1/4" diameter sheaves. Those are almost the size as the ones I made from the hanger. I will keep them in mind. I saved both sites in favorites.

WackoWolf Posted May 28, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2013 I think JB is out of business. There is a thread about this, was active about a week ago. You should check before you order from them but like you said the shipping would be way to much. Quote Wacko Joe Go MSW :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted June 8, 2013 Share #5 Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) I recently bought some brass sheaves from Cornwall Model Boats sized from 2.5mm diameter to 6mm diameter at 13 pence each plus some postage. I have bought other items from CMB and they ship within 1-2 days and I have never been disappointed with their products and I don't find their airmail costs too much. However, if you order timber lengths they will cut them in half which might be OK unless you need them in 1m length and want to pay for a courier - very expensive.
