I was thinking of making some of these out of nylon / plastic, do you think they would be too rigid

Yep: they'll last about 3 minutes - they're rubber for a reason. If you want to tighten up the gearstick motion a bit, just put another rubber one in. I have three on mine - solid as a rock but still copes with the engine movement / vibrations. |

I will order some new ones as my original are soft, possibly never been changed and they got a tad hot in the fire. |

You can try exhaust mount ones, they're a bit stronger but still rubber. Don't forget the bushes in housings. Oh, and some mudguard washers might fix your problem. |
