leadscrew protectors ( was Re: telescoping leadscrew protectors

Dryer tube comes in 4-6" and white color I believe. If you want 3"
try RV sewer tube. It comes in pretty bright blue. Downside is when
the neighbor with the $60,000 moterhome wanders into your garage you
will be known as the guy with the contraption you built outta "poop
shute" Then its all "Ya might be a redneck if....."
Have Fun.
