Does anyone have a set of these I could 'borrow' until the fiero store order comes in?

A black set would take preference, but red will be OK.

John I sure would like to see your poly bushings when they get here.  I need to take some measurments off them.

Could we do that?

Yup.  With luck they'll be here tomorrow, later in the day.

I'm slapping them in pretty fast though, so you'd have to head over shortly after I call you.

Hmm raw raw round stock.  Hmm, poly replacement ones are stepped and would require the bushing itself and then a "cap" to go one the other side so there is no left to right slip. I know the ones Dawg is going to make will be aluminum or steel.  Personally I think steel would be better and cheap to buy stock, but more expensive in the tooling time.  Hmm Stainless, Na that would be too expensive all around!! 

           Marcel what is the material you can get?  Anyone able to get Derlin?   I think if we went with Derlin would could even get Micheal (sp) to turn them out on the lath, ooh ooh, that is an awesome idea.  LOL, Na I think Dawgs CNC would be faster and more accurate. 

Just as a side note that everyone knows, the 88s were factory solid mounted with steel, so there should not be any concern with how hard we go with the mounts.

I stock a variety of extruded materials in round stock up to 4" diameter

Nylon, Moly filled Nylon, Delrin in black and white,

UHMW PE up to 8" diameter,

However we sell most in 8' lengths

But if you tell me what your thinking about ill search around for you

Poly ureathane is a cast material so the lengths are shorter

OK...Please call as soon as you get them and I'll drop what I'm doing.

I've been doing some building maintenance for a couple hotels in Vancouver lately.  So I might be an hour or so away.

Do I need to PM my phone number?  If you don't have it anymore Dave does.

Thanks

DG
