I have to make a couple of component supports for a radio transmitter.
These are 0.5" thick, 4" wide, and 6" tall. They mount vertically (6" up, 4"x0.5" footprint).
There is no lateral stress. The component only weighs 2 pounds.
There's a hole about 2.5" diameter near the top through which the component protrudes. The support is cut through the middle of that opening, with the top held in place using high-temp PEEK screws.
These must be electrical insulators, capable of operating continuously in a high-temperature (200F) environment.
I do plan to roll-tap a couple of holes for #10-32 screws.
I have nylon, UHMW, and Garolite. Which would you suggest, or something else ???
TIA.
