Delrin vs. Teflon Bushings

[Per Lindgren]

A friend of mine made his own teflon bushings, he works in a shipyard. He got
teflon in sticks and put them in the lathe. This is for his '88 Ford Fiesta XR2,
which hopefully will turn out like a gocart when he's done. Oh, he's installing
a full set of Spax spirngs and shocks as well.
