Pat, for a single or twin (I'm not sure they're different). Are they nylon? If you're referring to the rollers that support the yolk just behind the panel - I've never looked closely but I thought they were metal. I'd call Webco. Matt Kurke also has all the single engine Comanche engineering drawings so if you can't get an answer elsewhere perhaps Matt could send you the drawing for that part.

single, nylon rollers at the panel, pasenger side. I thought I'd find some nylon stock and turn a couple out on my lathe. I'm lazy and don't want to take mine apart untill I have new ones in hand.

They're so easy to replace, I'd suggest you just take them out and make new ones. I used a roller bearing upon which I put a Interference press fit surface mount face made of delrin. Since they now roll easily, I no longer get flat spots and have not had to replace them in the last 20 years.
