Re: Which is the best material for an aerial sleeve?
My ancient Panasonic microwave oven has the usual 3 wheeled bearing assemly under the glass plate.
The moulded shaft for one of the wheels snapped off, and I did some modding and ended up with a white number-plate fixing bolt and nut as a replacement axle. Very satisfactory.
A similar accident happened to another wheel assembly about a year later, and I repaired that one with a black version of the other nut and bolt. It immediately started to melt when the oven was switched on.
I guess from that experience the filler/colourant is important in the choice of material. Tony.
