Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Ideal for restoring the smooth movement of a bimini top connection where you want a solid stainless top cap and a Delrin insert to reduce looseness/vibration.
Common Issues: If you feel play or hear rattling at the pivot, check for correct tube insertion depth (1-1/8") and ensure the set screw is tightened to secure the fitting. Also verify you’re using the correct 7/8" tube size and that the mating hardware aligns properly for full rotation.
