Some years back I was involved with a US based machinery manufacturer, the particular design of this type of machine uses a pair of large bevel gears to turn a drive through 90 degrees (think Ducati style bevel but on a bigger scale), traditionally these would be made from steel but, inevitably they would wear over time.

The US company built their machines with one delrin and one steel gear and we never noticed any wear again plus, it didn't need any specific lubrication either as would the steel on steel.

Not sure how long lasting it would be as a bush but given the small and occasional use a shift/brake pedal gets it should last a good while?
