Well Mr. Steven Long (yes, I know who you are, you drive a Corvette, have a thing for Mercedes, and a real hard-on about Disney Cruises. Am I “getting warm yet?”). while you are correct to expect a certain level of decorum
on this or any site, let’s examine what you are really doing on this website, and why I take exception to it: You are attempting to conduct a freebee viral marketing campaign for your business…….. You have been posting similar threads to this one on other enthusiast sites (Corvette, Camaro, etc., etc.); always with “a few extra pucks” left over, but you just happen to have pre-set pricing, pre-determined shipping cost and PayPal set up………… You are trying to make a buck, which is just fine, but there are accepted protocols for how this done, and you are attempting to circumvent them.

If you want to advertise, it’s time to man-up, pay the site holder like other advertisers, and then advertise away; but don’t think for a moment that everyone out here doesn’t recognize what you are trying to do………..

Oh, and you do have a local Ferrari dealer, Algar Ferrari and Maserati over on Lancaster Avenue…………

First of all, tensile strength is irrelevant since the material is not being not being pulled or elongated, but compressed.

While Delrin has about 5 times greater tensile strength than rubber, tensile strength testing of rubber is rarely done.

Rubber has better compressibility and elasticity than Delrin and is the more desireable quality to have.

In addition, Delrin has an inherent lack of adhesiveness, that is, it is slippery. That is the last quality you want to have in a pad supporting your car.

I wouldn't tell people what to do. What I am saying is that I would never get under a car which was supported with slippery pads, nor would I even raise my car with them, nor would I recommend them to anyone.

And, I agree with JFP, you are trying to hock your wares while circumventing the proper procedure for merchants. For you to slither in here and try to lambaste a well respected fellow member with your all of 5 posts is bad form indeed!
