Why not just have them machined out of delrin stock and skip the metal insert.. Delrin stand alone is pretty beefy stuff.
A decent CNC shop should beable to handle it. Programming costs would be high do to the curves but its also no aluminum or steel so a CNC shop wouldnt need to take too much of the machine time up with it... Delrin machines rather quickly.
