Looking for some plastic inserts for my rocket launchers.

Mate you could probably buy them from any of the lager fishing tackle/chandlery stores. If you want a cheaper alternative however measure the internal diameter of the launchers and jump down to your local plumbing supplies and buy a length of pvc pipe to suit. Cut to length as required. If you want something extra fancy (slight rolled end of pipe to "fit" into launcher) heat with boiling water and flare end. Hope this helps

Bias have them.
Just be careful to measure the inside dia of your rocket launcher tubes because there ARE 2 sizes of inserts - that way you'll buy the correct size ones!

If you cant find the right size, you could buy some Nylon rod from a plastic supply and find someone with that has a metal lathe and make them up.
My son is a toolmaker apprentice and I am thinking its about time he needs some turning practice for my boat shortly as I need 8.::)

Sid,
i'm looking at say 14 of them
i like the ones you use too, no real rush, just whenever you get a chance.
Yeah, the ones Ian uses are fantastic.
I had them on my last boat and will have them on my new one shortly :)
