PTFE would be OK, it's for a turntable.
We may end up making a series of smaller pads to go between the turntable halves
if we can't find something to do the job.

I've got acetal bar in 2" & 3" diameter, nylon in 6" diameter, and a
about a dozen or so offcuts of either Nylon/Acetal/Polyethylene, all
around 2" diameter and 1.5" long, all of which cost me nothing (they
came "free" with the Bantam I bought) if this would help.
I'd be happy to either turn the spacers up for you or pop any pieces
in the post. No charge, you've helped me out with transport before and
I'm sure I'll need another favour some day<g>.
