Default Pushrod Exit Guides??

Im tryin to find Pushrod Exit Guides WITHOUT the hood on them. I have about 6 left from awhile back and i cannot seem to find more.
Does anyone know if ANY manufacturer makes these anymore. Or if anyone has a possible substitution for them.

Those are the Hooded exits. if you notice a partial section of the opening has a cover ( Hood ). They used to make them without the Hoods to where it was basicly an oval shaped exit straight through nothing restricting the opening. No idea if they still make them or not.

You just cant get as clean of a look by trimming the hoods off unfortunatly

I was told by a friend thats been in the hobby business for decades that he can't find them anymore.. doesn't mean they aren't out there. But the old supplier dropped them...

hhmmm, It seems to me they came in a pack with a blue and white label.....can't remember the company name, but they did also sell some plastic hatch lock mechanisms if I recall correctly.

Why not just make them?

On RCpilot's post #7 - I did a test of epoxy type and micro balloons. I used 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute and finishing resin. Like RC said - load up the epoxy with as much micro balloon that it can handle. I also mixed the micro balloons into each epoxy part separately then combined them when ready. Of the 4 mixtures the finishing resin was much easier to finish.

Carl Goldberg made them and sold them in their hardware line. I use to use them all the time until they were discontinued. The few I still have I hoard.
