Pretty sure they are moulded in place on the steel?
I'm sure there are some industrial glues that will be OK in heat and oil, but I don't know of any
Having guide fall apart could lock up motor and kill you ded
There was someone either here making some CNC Delrin ones for experimenting, don't know what happened about them?.
Very logical question. You would just need:
1) An accurate technical drawing of the slipper (rubber part) to have one produced out of whichever material looks to be the best for the cause.
2) Someone to research and find the industrial glue/adhesive. I'm sure there is something out there that would work. Just has to be found.
3) A guinea pig!
I found the right stuff. Bondit b-45th. It is an industrial 2 part thats used to bond delrin and like plastics to metal. Its heat cured at 100f. Impervious to oil and good to 500f. I ordered new guide for the bike and will be experimenting on old one. Damn things are expensive and only reason i need one is because its delaminating. Had some other infor from another forum about a guy using a 2!part of some kind and it works. Cleanliness is the key to the bond. Having a complete guide machined out of delrin would be perfect.
Interesting.
Only downside I see, by the time you buy the 'glue' and the applicator, a NOS tensioner or guide is cheaper.
If you were making a lot of them it would be worthwhile
If I was still working I would probably try it, as is, for one, needd to find a smaller quantity cheaper. (3sq/ft is a lot of Delrin to bond)
I have a buddy that works in a machine shop. He runs the cnc machine. If i could get a drawing to put into a chevalier[?] machine, i could make a few. Nos their 135! Delrin and some time could probably do half that or better. Not to mention make some for other bikes. There are a lot of old bikes whose day's are numbered.
