Is this a few of or a production thing? Did you spec Teflon because of high temperature?

I tried a Teflon washer at the base of a pivoting catamaran mast. It was a complete failure. It would squeese out in a few weeks since Teflon is subject to cold flow under presure. I replaced it with a UHMW washer and it was still going strong after two years.

Chuckle..I cut my Hobi washers from 5 gallon buckets with a hole saw sans the center drill, in a drill press. Got a couple years from the first one.
