[shoracer2]

Any one have an idea what kind of plastic is used on the Cam Chain tensioner. Going to rebuild mine. Would like idea what material to order from McMaster-Carr.

looking into it also i have a freind that works with delrin, was thinking on having him machine me a piece to try i will post pics and stuff later!

this might be a good thing for a group buy, i imagine there are a few sho's that could benifit from this. good luck, can't wait to see how it turns out.

Ditto, I have a few tensioners that could use some new plastic.

Well it's got to be oil proof, able to withstand 300° F, and abrasion resistant.
