Why would you want to make acetal bushings for your car? For SCCA events?

What bushings are you trying to make? And solid bushings aren't allowed in ST classes.

These would be far too stiff for street use.

Delrin is Dupont's brand name for Acetal Resin, it is a unique combination of strength, stiffness, hardness, dimensional stability, toughness, fatigue resistance, solvent and fuel resistance, abrasion resistance, low wear and low friction. You can also try Celcon from Ticona, which is another brand name for Acetal. VERY HARD PLASTIC!

So basically it is the next step down from metal bushings? Still to damn hard for the street.

Yeah, we used to use celcon for surgical impact heads where I used to work. its pretty hard stuff, I can't imagine trying to drive on crappy US roads with those. The only time I've ever seen those used is on straight up track cars, where stiff and compliant is the only thing that matters. I don't think you're gonna like it. Ask rob what the poly bushings did.

i was planing on making the lower control arm bushings, and as far as i know you just can't use metal bushings for ST. I am at least going to get poly bushings, but i just figured this might be a cool idea or at least alittle differnt.
