340mm of Teflon round bar for making gudgeon pin buttons. Used to prevent floating pins from gouging the bores. Not every application require this, as floating pin pistons these days have pretty good circlip retention. If like me however you use floating pin little end con rods with press fit pin pistons, there are no circlips, and the Teflon is tequired to stop the pins damaging the bore.

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

the round bar itself can be purchased very easily. Ive purchased some previously from IIRC a vendor on Ebay called performance plastics. RS are likely stock it too.
Or are you after some buttons remade?

I haven't got a lathe so not sure how I'd make them. What size is the hole Inn the end of the gudgeon pin? I forgot to make a note of it when I left the barn earlier

If you supply the material and a drawing with dimensions I can make them for you if needed.

How does Teflon machine? Some plastics I don’t mind but others are awful.
