Roller nut on a National Triplex?

I recently purchased this National Triplex off ebay:

It's missing the nut and I was thinking that using a roller nut might make the tuning changer work a little better. Does anyone make a six string roller nut, preferably with a 3/8" string spacing? I did find this thread where Tony Boadle made his own on a guitar that he added a multibender to:

Somewhere I also saw where someone suggested using bass string ends instead of regular guitar string ends.

Another option might be to make a conventional nut out of a really slippery plastic like Delrin.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?
