Gonna have to give a big "thumbs down" to the wood idea. Tolerances are way too tight on these motors. The delrin is a fine idea, since it's melting point is well above the operating temperatures of that area, i'm pretty sure. (I'd confirm this before bolting it on).
You need a non-porous material.

As for fuel affecting varnish; there shouldn't be any fuel in your TB! Still, I wouldnt' introduce anything into my TB that could eventually come off/melt/react.
