Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Best for replacing or refreshing the pivot/top-cap connection point on a bimini frame where you want full rotation with quiet operation.
Common Issues: If the fitting feels loose or noisy after installation, re-check tube seating depth and the set screw clamping. Also confirm the tube is within the system’s intended diameter so the Delrin insert can provide the intended rattle-free fit.
