I don't really understand the various properties of plastics, but I guess there is wear, heat, friction, machinability, durability, flexibility etc etc.
I want some plastic block or thick sheet that I can shape to make a catch plate for my wheel carrier. So it want so to be low friction, but good wear. I have been looking at websites and my eyes are beginning to cross. There are plastics I have never heard of. So I thought I'd be lazy and put the question out there. What is a good universal sort of material that would be good for this. There are plenty of suppliers and it doesn't seem to expensive. I'd like a block about 15 mm deep by about 100 x 50 or something like that. It may be that a sample will be good enough. These are usually only about £2.50.
Got to crack on with it as I am at the fabrication stage of the wheel carrier already! Spindle is ready to go in.
