Re: Body mount options 51 AD
Industrial belting is a great idea. It's also something you can pick up a remnant of at some places like Power and motion that sell belting and equipment for them. It comes in several thicknesses too. The key on a lot of these things is you want to ask if they have any small remnants rather than have them cut something for you from stock be it belting, Delrin, or other suitable material.
As MPC said, nothing wrong with good hardwood either. The last blocks I made for my 48 were cut out of an oak pallet that I snagged out of someone's scrap pallet pile. Odd size pallets don't usually get reused to ship stuff again out here in the west and I have found plenty of them made out of white oak over the years. I burned a lot of them in the wood stove when I was broke a number of years back.
