A hex headed screw is easy to 'captivate' in your
base material. I.e. pressing a screw like this
Emacs!
to bottom out in a 1/4" counterbore will force the
hex-points into a good grip on the base. Experiment
a bit . . . I might have used a 9/32" bore . . . it's
been awhile. You don't want to break the base with
"too much grip."
McMaster-Carr can offer you grade-8, hex screws
but you need to buy a pkg of 25. Any good hardware store's
specialty screws bins may offer smaller lots of similar
screws. Use a washer and nut on the top side and
some epoxy fill underneath to finish installing
the stud.
I have a chunk of Delrin about 0.35 x 0.77 x 8 inches
that I'll donate to the cause if you'll photograph your
process and finished product to share with the List.
If finding the 'golden' hardware is problematic,
I can pick it up on my next trip to ICT. Shoot
me a mailing address.
Bob . . .

Thanks Bob. I think I have what I need in the shop to do it about three
different ways, and if not it should be easy to find right here in
Anchorage.

UHMW + standard AN3 hardware seems to have worked pretty well. Pics
attached.
