Yes, we considered it - unfortunately, there is no room. We tried several ways to use a plastic spur in fact (the design started with a plastic spur). Our hardened pinions can withstand the abuse and run pretty quiet on the steel spur used. Would plastic work with the current design? - most likely, but a loose setting may cause failure. We had success with plastic spurs, but we had a heatsinking mount built into the spur, which added space and cost. The Steel spur is rugged, long lasting, and much simpler to work with.
