Does anyone want to sell or rent out a set of the metal bushings so I can mic them out. I have someone who may be interested in reproducing them. Thank you, Larry

Atren't they really just the rubber ones machined to installed height? FFI's look cast, then final machined. Their price is rediculous. Solid bushings.com wasn't much better, but weren't they at least steel? Heavier yes, but considerably more durable. PST nor Energy list urethane anymore so that's a moot point. I don't have access to CNC machinery so I'd be hand mic'ing myself anyhow. Poly bushings might be interested if there's a market for them. Anyone with urethane can contact him with spec.'s. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Larry

Mopar Performance had cast iron biscuits.
Firm Feels are cast aluminum.
U could always get some solid aluminum bar stock and make your own. The height doesn't have to be spot on. A 1/8" plate contoured to match the oval eyelet can be made out of aluminum or steel and attached to the bar stock, welded or bolted usind flat head screws.

I have a set from Cudazappa, but I'm not selling them. Think I got his last set

Thank you, that's the plan. I'll try to get it as close to stock installed height as possible. I read somewhere the aluminum were prone to crack, & I may still have access to piles of tool steel. We'll see. Again, thank you.

Yeah buddy! Some metal shops got small pieces of bar stock, 6061 or 7075, they sell for slightly above scrap prices. Best luck on your project!

See how much CudaZappa will sell the CNC programs for.

I checked when he was closing & I think he wanted 4 K for everything? I couldn't see the turn around on the investment. Esp. since I would have had to hire the CNC man.
