Hi

I'm totally new to here. I have a question, maybe someone could answer.
I have a ballhead securing mechanism, with an alu ball, around that a plastic ring, and around that an alu ring. for proper function, I'd need the minimum possible friction between the outer alu ring and the plastic ring, and the maximum possible between the plastic ring and the alu ball. However, I need very smooth sliding between all surfaces. I accept recommendations for the kind of plastic I should use, and the treatment of both alu surfaces, and the kind of greas to use for the outer surface of the plastic ring.
Thank for helping me out.
