loads and loads of our plant use modern day plastics like delrin as bushes for pedals and linkages etc and they are out in the sh@t and elements all the time, modern plastics are a bit more stable nowadays.
so use a good quality one.
As for the pivotif you are going to use a bolt use a shouldered bolt so the delrin is not running on threads.

Acetal is bonkers. I spent hours machining stuff when I worked for a motorsport firm at Silverstone only to find the holes I bopped up the spout were undersized yet I used the right drill bit...it seems the speed of the machine and how quick you bop the holes has an affect as well as I never had one hole that was the same.......freaked me out, it was as if some ghostie type changed the drill bit each time i used it.

Facing off a rectangle of acetal in 3 jaw chuck was just as frustrating...
