Starting group buy: Custom Aftermarket Bushings

[SVXelerator]

based on Mr. Monk's new signature line, I'm assuming that Mr. Files has had his waterbed professionally disinfected

yeah and he might want to add chlorine to the hot tub as well.

Yea, I paid for the bleach with the money I made from the internet sales of your home movies!

This is a good idea .... I will be interested in bushings as well... Probably after the group buy though because at the moment I really don't have $$$ to commit to anything except fuel and Rent

David,
Are you still on track to ship the diff bushings around the end of March/early April?

That's the plan. I'm currently waiting for the tooling for the swaybar bushings. Once that's done I place the actual order. They were really quick with the diff bushings tooling.

I'm still "in the hole" in terms of funding so I hope everyone that hasn't paid yet contributes soon

So the swaybar bushing tooling is holding up getting the rear diff bushings done?
-Bill

[Earthworm]

Yes. I'm ordering everything together in anticipation of getting a discount.

[DarknessofDeath]

david said he needs MONEY!!

[Earthworm]

My GF tells me I have a message at home that I may have some prototype bushings ready to go.

I'll be going there in the morning to check it out.

[Earthworm]

Well I've picked up the prototype front/rear swaybar bushings. The plan is to test fit them on sunday and do an installation writeup. On monday, if all goes well I'll place the order.

I have one concern where one of the bushings is slightly taller than stock. They are aware of that and will fix it for the production run.

I am guaranteeing these will be a direct bolt-in.

Expect more info on monday (including pics)

[Electrophil]

100 percent confidence David. Take your time, don't rush it.

[Earthworm]

Well the rear swaybar bushings are an exact copy of OEM so I'm not worried about them. I'm not even sure if a how-to would be required. Installation is dead simple.

Now the slightly oversized front swaybar bushing is another story. I tried to install it on my SVX but was unsuccessful. I had it in place but could not start the bolts. My original bushing is squished, swollen, indented on the "bottom" and as far as I know is the original bushing.

I'm going to have them make another sample that better matches the front bushing and go from there.

Stay "tuned"

Daily update:

Explained to the manufacturer that the front bushing will not work at the size provided. They will modify their mold and get me another sample as soon as tomorrow.
