strut bearings

I don't know about delrin but I think Autotech sold the urethane bits the
last time I talked to them.  Really though if you want to put delrin in
there you might as well buy a set of camber plates.  I'm not sure how delrin
would hold up to being hammered on like the front bump stops would be,
especially if your car is lowered with big wheels.  If you decide to try it
you might think about using delrin 570.  It's cast with fiberglass shards in
it for reinforcement.  It might take direct impacts better than the standard
stuff.

Rolling Roc has been eating up the Febi bearings I'm feeding it. Enough is
enough though so I went to see my supplier for some Dasher bearings as they
are rebuildable with OEM rubber, Urethane, and hopefully Delrin. So the
question to the list is where are the parts? Do you know of anyone making
Delrin parts for these?

By the way, my machinist tells me that Super Beetle bearings are the same as
the Dasher units.
