    Mold Shoe Material?

    What I am calling the mold shoe is the "bushing" that slides back and forth under the ti-bars, to help support them. (has bar radius in it to fit)
    I have been asked to build some, and am wondering about material. the sample I was given seems to be maybe Ampco bronze.
    I was wondering if some nylon type material would work?

    Shoe material

    I just use bronze stock and copied the basic design of the old platen shoe.
    Best regards,
