Search for delrin and it'll appear. Also called acetal. If I remember right it's made from nylon and acrylic. I get mine from onlinemetals.com. It may be able to be glued, but don't bet on it for anything remotely structural. It's designed specifically to be chemical resistant, which makes it nearly impossible to bond to anything. Fortunately it holds threads nicely. There are rumors of glass and carbon reinforced delrin, but I've never come across any of it. I'm guessing it would be pretty nice for bigger bearing blocks. I'd bet it's the best choice for pushrod supports, control stick bearing blocks, and similar. It sucks for vibration damping, though. -- Steve 33...@swbell.net N3343V- '75 C150M N205FT- KR1 #6170 He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
