A friend has a Boston whaler supercat an he needs a 2" mast ball. He thinks it's made of teflon and I drew a 3d model to have it printed. Teflon/PTFE is not available, will nylon 12 suffice? What are these usually made of? Thanks in advance. |

Thank you, do you think nylon will suffice? |

Delrin is harder. Nylon may deform under load. |

You can get a 2” Delrin ball from McMaster Carr. You would just need a machine shop to drill and tap it with the correct threads. Or if you have access to a drill press, you could probably do that yourself. https://www.mcmaster.com/balls/system-o ... l-plastic/ sm |
