Re: PVC Rollers?

This year 447 used schedule 40 PVC pipe has the roller and rather than machining grooves into the roller we used the corresponding PVC coupler. We only used the ends of the coupler as dividers. You can glue them into place, but I do not believe we did and they held up just fine all season. This works well for teams with limited machining capabilities since all you really need is a saw to cut the pipe and couplers.
