Pivot Cup Material Empty
PostSubject: Pivot Cup Material   Pivot Cup Material EmptyThu Dec 14, 2017 3:15 am

I've been doing some research on fingerboard supplies lately, where I've been able to dig up some posts about ordering replacement parts for trucks.  The only problem is, there's almost zero information on what the pivot cup material actually is and where to find it.  I did uncover an old thread once, quite a while ago, about how the material is actually some form of craft tubing that you can find in hobby stores.  However, I can't recover that post for the life of me.  I think it was somewhere on Reddit and the search tool doesn't work too well over there, so I think I'm out of luck in that regard.

The closest thing I could find was this silicon tubing on Amazon.  Would any FBHQ veteran be able to tell if this is the same, if not close to the material that's being used on non-BRR trucks nowadays?  I'd like to start tuning my endless supply of Tech Deck bases and I happen to fancy the pivot cups that come with Dynamics, for example.

Truck Hardware (in case anyone is interested)

Thanks in advance for the insight!

Pivot cups for fingerboards are just s'getti strings. Here's a link to a pack of them. I think the silicone water meter tubing will work as it looks like it's the right size.
