need something made from nylon

[steveo3002]

anyone able to quote me on 2 of these

its a bushing for a car ..so some kind of hard wearing nylon material?

Remember Nylon absorbs water some by 10% a nice fit to day a sledge removal in 12 months.
Chose the correct material.
Have seen 5/8 bolt shear off in a 2inch nylon spring bush a mistake I did not make again

 

[steveo3002]

yeah could use some help choosing a material too

Acetal might work, it machines and drills beautifully... depends on what sort of forces those bolts are exerting.

Acetal is a dimensionally stable engineering plastic with low water absorbtion, so ought to be ideal for the job, but you'll have to take all responsibility for suitability for purpose if you want someone to machine it up for you.

I have found these guys useful, Delrin is stable and there are others. OK for small quantities.

I use them as well... that's where I get my Acetal from

Remember an article in Road & Track. Some staffers modded a Suzuki Swift as a keen commuter car. Swopped all the rubber suspension bushes for ones made out of harder plastic. IIRR the stuff skate board wheels are made from. Sharpened up the handling nicely. Didn't bother much with the engine (120hp on that model) Just added a nitrous oxide kit linked to the throttle

I have used Nyloil (green) for racing car suspension and other (engine steadies, mounts etc.) successfully - machines really well on lathe - no issues with water ingress.



CNL's NYLOIL is carefully dispersed with an oil-based lubricant during the manufacturing process. The result is a highly crystalline, internally lubricated, high-strength polymer with enhanced wear and reduced friction properties.

NYLOIL is offered in grades tailored to specific applications:
NYLOIL (Green) - ideal for most anti-friction applications
NYLOIL FG (Natural) - specified for direct contact with food - FDA and USDA 3A compliant
NYLOIL MDX (Gray or Blue) - designed for slightly higher load capabilities

bushes

Some time ago there was a query regarding plastic for bushes, could not remember what I use have found 2 invoices 1\PEPT Eralyte TX. the other ACETEL Copolymer low water take up on both
Nylon 66 will absorb 7\9% water

Steve, do you still need these blocks making up?
