Hope this is in the right section, Mods please feel to move if appropriate.
I'm forming the plans for my new gate in my head and intend using hinges of this type
I'm thinking if I get a size up in the rod & eye(s), I can machine a 'top hat' from something self-lubricating [no sniggering at the back ] like Delrin to fit over the pin ends and make the action smoother [and silent too] - over-engineering is my middle name.....
The question is, is there anything out there better for this application than Delrin, and if so where would I source a short piece in black [roughly 100mm x 25mm]? eBay would be the obvious place, but I'd need to know what I was searching for.......
