    Pin and Wheel, Acetal / Delrin

    If it was me I would probably make the pins out of aluminum instead of the plastic, they might last longer in the long term. And I could probably help you out but I don't think I could do it until after chirstmas. As I think my girlfriend would not approve before Christmas.
