Rubber rope

I need to get the rubber rope for the cargo cover, but I need to verify a few things. What is the diameter of the rope(1/4", 5/16", 7mm)? And what is the material it is made of(Buna, silicone, neoprene, viton, EPDM)? and lastly how much length is needed to replaced it all on a M923 cargo cover? I can purchase all types from Grainger in lengths from 10' to 100'. Any help here is appreciated. Thank you all.

You didn't search, did you?

Somebody woke the dog up be careful he might bite

Sorry, but the search engine is not real useful. When I use it I get so much that has nothing to do with what I am looking for that it's frustrating. Simple answers from those with the knowledge would be very nice. Thanks.

Why search, no fun there. You can't get the dog to come out if you do that.

Perhaps you need help learning to search. Have you asked for that ever? Clinto has a link in his sigline, offering to help members with the search function.


We just covered the rope thing a couple weeks ago.


Think about this, if you think you get too many hits on a search, by posting this thread you just added one more for the next guy.

While you most likely will get the info you need right now, you just set up the next guy for even more trouble than you had.

There are several methods/searches available on the site. It's in everyone's best interest to learn to use them as best as possible.

So, I just entered "rubber rope"(your thread title), in the google site search box(top right corner of the screen).

Reading the first 4 threads will answer what you need to know(or you could/should have added to one of those threads).


What and how did you search?


Here's the search results.

Thanks doghead, That does help. When I search super rope I get more threads that are about super singles than rope and a lot of them about cable and tow ropes. I will never claim to be very computer savy. I guess I need to learn how to refine my searches.

Yes, and we can refine our search by doing an "advanced search", this way we can search in a specific forum only, or by a specific member only.

We used to have a great "search sticky". Perhaps we need a new one(since the searches have changed).

I replaced part of the cord on my M927 with black 5-50 paracord. It works great and secures the cover just a good as the rubber stuff.

So, doghead... what size was the rubber rope?

You know I can ban you, right?

Well that's no fun... I'll go back to reading now.

I found these at Grainger. I'm going to try one of them (Waiting a few days for delivery). The EPDM appears to be most similar to the OEM rubber rope, but I like the additional stretching of the neoprene. Good prices for 50'. The "rope" on my truck appears to be 1/4".

hahahahahahahhahh . That was worth a laugh! I do agree sometimes the search is a PITA. On sidenote Doghead if I dont sell my 5 ton Imight want to export to Sweden not NY but the country. Any advice. I know the bobber cant go but I think the 5 can. anyone done this. My only concern would be shipping parts once over there i cant imagine what a set of drums fedexed to europe would cost.....more than truck assume.

For anybody still reading this thread, Mcmaster-carr is the place to go for rubber rope.

Here is a thread that answers it all. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...-know-about-rubber-rope&highlight=rubber+rope

Gunzy,

This may be a little late in the game, but here's epdm 5/16" O-ring stock from McMaster-Carr:

I've used it, and it works perfectly. How much do you need? I have some extra I'll give you.

Thanks Tommy. I bought 100' from McMaster for .51 per foot. It is very good stuff.
