Plastic that doesn't deform easily?
(OP)
In my curent project I'm going to use two shoulder bolts 180 degrees from each other t'ing off the end of a shaft and twisting the face of the shoulder against the other end of the drive (think of it line a flat head screwdriver). The shoulder bolts will have some type of poly sleeve but I'm not sure what type of material to use for the sleeves. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a material that would be suitable? It needs to have minimum deflection and distortion yet rigid enough to withstand the torsional load.
Thanks
Thanks

A carbon fiber drive shaft might be best option.
