I'm thinking of making a set of my own Delrin bushings for my sub frame and differential. I've got a lathe in my garage that can deal with stuff 6'' across, and about 24'' long, and this strikes me as a good opportunity to learn more about how to use it. I've also got lots of time while I look for a new job / wait for govt applications to not contact me and as I begin to consider hourly work.
But I do have a couple questions:
Where do I find this stuff for sale? Google lead me to this place (link), but I don't know of any others to compare to.
Is there a particular compound / flavor of the stuff I should be looking for? Is it even the right material for the job?
Does anyone know where one should look for dimensions of these parts? Infer from off the car measurements?
Every design of sub frame bushing I've seen that isn't metal on these cars has a metal core for the bushing. I'm going to assume this serves some functional purpose, and ask if anyone has suggestions on the dimensions and material to use for the center core?
