Spring bushings?

poly. (synthetic)
 
Thanks guys. I'm going to try my hand at machning a set out of poly and sleeving them with bronze or stainless to try and control the rust on the mounting pins. The front pins are scrap but the rear pins are in good shape.
 
maybe too little to late, but would it have been easier to swap to bolts, and just buy the bushings off the shelf?

Are you milling out bushings, or starting with a block of poly?
 
The machinist told me to go back to welding and leave the machining to them. So I'll have to trust them for now. I did get all new shoulder bolts and shackle material.
 
I'm going to start the removal of the old springs in the morning and hopefully complete the install before the lift is needed by the brother in law. Your welcome to come out if you want. 805 Cedar av. St.Charles
 
Call me if you need any further directions. We have tools so don't worry about that.If you still have that carb I could use it since my carb is acting stupid again.
Thanks
John
 
Thanks to Rob and Phil for making this job a great learning experience. And thanks to Tony for the springs. I hope to be able to repay you guys in the future somehow.

Yeah, I'm good too, John. No repayment necessary. It was nice to get out of the house into a warm shop to bust some knuckles, or in my case, a fleshy skull. :D

Thanks for the hospitality. :)
 
Sorry I couldn't make it to see the fun go down, (not the fleshy skull wound). And I've seen Phil set around & drink coffee before, so I know I didn't miss anything there.
Glad the springs are in & working & your very welcome. Thank you.
My only request, John, is for you to put Phil to work more often & give him all the BS stuff like cleaning, or shoveling pea-gravel, or something else that really sucks. That kinda stuff builds character & I know he could use some character building.
