Thomas,
I have Delrin mounts on my bike and I made them out of that material while
following the drawings sent by the group. I was A bit worried when I started
the replacement but as I was going through the replacements I realised how
correctly the manufactured Delrin parts were.
When I started torqueing the motor once more I did notice that some slight
flexing was needed, but mind you, when I released the original mounts they
also allowed the frame to move.
I have to state that whatever frame you have, even though they are normally
all standard V-max frames, the engine machined fixing points are 100 per
cent correct so if anything the frame is out so to conclude my explanation,
if the frame has to flex to find the proper place (mind you it is nothing
compared to frame twisting for lack of strength) then we're on the right
track. DO not install shims to avoid the frame from flexing or better
adapting itself to the engine, just let it come to its natural or designed
position.
My Delrina mounts where installed & tightened 2000 miles ago and now after
checking them, the bolts are still tight as they were so all this discussion
is pointless to my understanding.
I want to make a statement about DELRIN material and that is that it is
easily mistaken by other stuff such as Nylon or Teflon. If you got that then
anything can happen (one way or the other), those bad options will still be
100% better than the original rubbers.........
