If you have the machining resources, it might be better to use heavily pocketed aluminum sideplates. The weight difference is not major if the aluminum is pocketed and the aluminum will flex much less than the delrin. 254 decided to go back to aluminum gearbox sideplates after 2 years of delrin for this reason.
