Bushing mat'l

[Tom Tweed <ak627@dayton.wright.edu>]

Fellow motorheads,
One material suggested recently for possible use as bushing stock was
Vespel, a `hard' Teflon made by DuPont. It's great stuff,makes gas-tight
seals that withstand 350'C, etc. but unless prices for it have taken a
serious dive recently, just the stock to make a few bushings would cost
hundreds of dollars. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't use much at
my lab because it is (or was) so expensive.
