Tony's nuts are expensive at £95 (somebody told me John ward made the Raglan bits for Tony, though I don't know that personaly), hence after all the above considerations, I posted the questions at the start of the thread (no pup intended).

The plastic nut will no more get embedded than a brass, bronze or cast iron nut. Anyone who has used a delrin nut will know that the wear rate is very low and they (can) have little to no back-lash for a long time before you start to notice it creeping in.

Thanks Pete, appreciate that link! Doesn't look too difficult... now, have I got any Acetal.... :scratch:

Not definite yet but tending towards a new screw but in 10tpi and moulded drelin nut, both easyish to do, nothing lost, plus more usable 100 thou per turn, all original parts retained for posterity, any errors will affect all components so result should be low/zero backlash, might even go metric!
