    Where do I get Delrin from?

    I dont think glue inside the tube is the problem with mine as I plug the ends with blue tac prior to gluing up.

    I buy it in 4m lenghts, but I believe it is being sold in 300mm lenghts on Ebay.

    There was a thread about this not long ago, you have to do a search for Delrin or acetal.

    A small drop of Med CA works great for those loose fittings.

    There was no mention of loose transmissions, just loose fittings.

    Transmissions, slimline in particular, can vary quite a bit in size between manufacturers and/or batches.
