That umhw material seems to have pretty magical properties.
but the cheapest source I can find is ebay, and is not that cheap either. Dave, any local source?
Ya my back room . What I got , I got from guy who worked at Franke's in Midlland . When they did a change over on the stamping line they through out a whole pile of it . I got a bunch of him for $10 .
Dave
I'll attempt to do it with a sprocket, and if I fail, I might come begging for a little piece

So what is the diameter of that chute Dave. 6” or 8”, looks great. I’m sure you have checked , but I’ll ask any way. With the thrower down and chute straight ahead, will the engine bonnet open all the way to its rest with out hitting the chute. ?

It looks similar to Jancoe's and mine Eugen. I checked mine with it on the machine and It does clear the hood with it all the way open.
