On a pcp hammer
Is it worth drilling and inserting a button of delrin or brass to reduce the noise of it hitting the valve stem ?

Just had a Google 👍
I'm thinking of drilling a shallow hole and inserting some brass rod ... but so the face is flush
Just wasn't sure on the best material
I'm sure someone will correct me, but "Nutshot" I believe was the bright spark who cam up with the idea.
Its his system that I'm running on mine. Mine has a small, almost flush, delrin type of white material that contacts the stem.
I have seen, Peek, Delrin, Acetal etc used. Brass can be used as it is a softer metal, but in my opinion you will still get a metal-to-metal contact noise so probably better materials out there to use.

Would be interesting to see what stands up best to the continuous impact, Delrin at 84 Shore D hardness or Nylon 66 at 80 Shore D. Sometimes you get surprises depending on the application. I have had to replace the nylon valves that crack in pcp rifles with delrin and they seem to last so far.
