You might find that McMaster will ship to Granada if it's a commercial account not a personal account. That's the situation here in Canada. Perhaps a local chandler or other business has an account with them that you can order through?

I suspect you are actually thinking of either Delrin or Torlon. If you do not know which of those to use, pick Torlon. It can be used everwhere Delrin is used, but the opposite is not true. Delrin is only used because it is cheaper.

Yes! Not Viton

I just did torlon from Harken for my air blocks.

The big Budget Marine in Prickly Bay. They may have stock or can get them.

Delrin is not as strong but may be OK. Check with the manufacturer or look at the old balls. Torlon is black, Delrin is tan or faded off-white. Several standard sizes.
