Hey Monk,
I just did mine. Got the 3/16" x 24" Gore-Tex from skidim. IIRC it was about $10 and I have plenty left over. There has been debate on the site about the correct size and number of layers needed. For what it is worth, I used 3 layers of the 3/16" on the 1" shaft and it is working like a champ. Mike |
