Must be somewhere over here that can machine what you want though?

You could try Polybush in Wrexham. Them may be able to help or know someone who can help.

Steer well clear of Urethane or poly bushes they are the wrong material for this component.

You can't get better than a needle roller bearing for this application.

Delrin, the trade name for Acetal. This is the stuff to use for bearings. Good in link pin beams but in BJ beams needle rollers are the way to go. Both slamwerks ball joint beam and the creative weedeater ball joint beam use needle rollers.
