    Where to get nylon compression fittings?

    Does anyone know what supplier carries the nylon compression fittings for safilo frames. These are the H type that fit the rl 688 3 piece mounts. Safilo charges $1.95 for a set of 6. I hope there is a company out there that sells in larger quantities for a more reasonable price.

    Sillhouette makes the best bushings for this type of drill mount. They are similar in price to what you mentioned, but what makes them better is the fact that they are not made from nylon. They are made from a material called SPX which if you are familiar with is a very good material. SPX is much more pliable than nylon, so it is a far superior material for bushings to be made from. Spend the money, you'll thank me later.
