Pintle bearings

While Thalia is out of the water having a refit and a new stern gland prior to her rebuilt engine being re-installed I am taking the opportunity to replace the nylon inserts in the pintle bearings.  The ones I'm replacing seem to be nylon, but I have a tube of Delrin a much harder plastic that I used to make liners for the pintles when I had a Sigma 33.  Just wondering what others might have used.
