wayne,
i sent them an e-mail. thanks for the lead.
mcmaster-carr responded to my e-mail. they are unable to provide a bushing- any other suggestions for sources?
Have a small machine shop make them. Small machine shops charge about $50 per shop hour. It will take them about 2 shop hours to turn out 6 bushings (extra) You can supply the Delrin stock.
anyone using teflon?
There is a recent thread on the Nor’sea Forum, that tackles this same subject. Plenty of good knowledge over there too. Have a look.
thanks ben, i will.
sorry, i don’t know what that is a picture of-handcuffs maybe?
Teflon will flow when placed under pressure. The result is the bushing will deform.
