I will build the races from glass/epoxy (vinylester would be harder, but i am working in the garage now and the smell rules it out). They will be full complement bearings, which are not as low friction as the captured balls in the commercial bearings, but they take a higher load.

Hey Rob,At first I did a search on their site for "Telrin Ball Bearings" and I got this hit: http://www.mcmaster.com/#delrin-ball-bearings/=8wxqhnLater, I came to myself and realized either you were quoting a lot better price than we can get or you must be talking about just the balls themselves. http://www.mcmaster.com/#delrin-balls/=8wxrin
If so... are you building the races or using them in some other wild-man configuration?Dennis

Thanks for all the kind offers. McM C would not even take my credit card details in the end, so I bought them from Italy. Bit cheaper, but I had to buy 1,000, so I have some spare if anyone wants them.
They are for a rudder bearing on El. Just seeing what works.
