Actually, if it wasn't for the acid fumes, Delrin would have lasted, it's  
otherwise REALLY durable stuff.

You  know, if the mag fan had been plastic - after all these years, they 
would  be brittle and breaking from age and the naysaying folks would 
complain  about how poorly designed the plastic compressor fan was. I suspect 
this  would have been the case as even my mag fans have developed stress  
fractures at the base over time.  I don't think that the plastic  would not 
have held up to 14 hp spurts for 44 years. I'm grateful that  acid fumes 
scuttled the plastic fan project.
