Re: Source for nylon pulleys.
We have lathed our own from nylon rod stock, and have used screen door rollers we found at Home Depot. Those have a sealed bearing with a nylon pulley shaped channel formed around the outer race - you can get a couple of different sizes. Each one worked great. The pulleys we lathed were drilled to loose fit a bolt, and then sprayed liberally with silicon lubricant.

Search Home Depot site for "screen door rollers"
