Need a small piece of Bronze or Aluminum

[JohnCT]

I need to make a sheave for a Snipe sailboat, the part measures about 26mm x 7.5mm with a 5mm center hole. Anyone have a small piece of bronze or I'm guessing T6 type aluminum (not well versed on metal grades) , I have HSS blanks I would be willing to trade?

Thanks

26mm Diameter x 7.5mm long or 7.5mm diameter x 26 long?

26 dia 7.5 thick , pretty much an inch by a quarter of an inch, it goes at the top of the mast

I have a number of short cut-off pieces of aluminium of that diameter or larger, mostly 6061 T6. I have two lengths of 1 1/4 x 3/8in bar of 2024 T4 which is stronger than 6061 T6. This can easily be drilled then turned to desired diameter.

That would be perfect Dave, thank you
