Lofrans Royal Windlass - bushes for mounting holes

[Poignard]

The Lofrans Royal windlass that I bought secondhand is missing the "top-hat" plastic bushes that line the holes in the base for the bolts that fix it to the deck. These are a daft price from the importers, E.C.Smith Ltd, and it won't take long for me to turn some up, but what would be the best sort of plastic to use - Delrin, Nylon [liable to creep?] or what?

I would use Peek if you google it you will see the properties.

PEEK - somewhat over the top, don't you think? Why use a high-priced, high performance plastic for such a mundane job? Nylon would be perfectly adequate.

 

[Poignard]

It certainly wants to be something easily and cheaply available in small quantities. Nylon fits these criteria but has a tendency to flow or creep under load - result loosening of fastenings?
