Steel bushings might be OK in the Mojave desert for a month or two, but for us in the rest of the world it is surely not a good choice. I use Delrin as a bushing material, bronze is OK but is rather old school by today's standards.
Thanks. I had a blind-spot dumb-out and had transposed reference numbers. Last night I looked again and the Northland plans clearly specify "oil impregnated." Then I started stumbling upon Oilite bushings for sale from Javron and Univair. Inexpensive, too. Finally I ran across Steve Pierce's bushing replacement tool and started to think: "never mind my question...nothing to see, move along...."
But now we talk Delrin? I think I'm really out of the loop. I have used Delrin for harpsichord plectra, and I've seen it on cabinet hinges, but elevator bushings? Sounds interesting.
