So I was replacing the gear (which apparently wasn't the problem) in my tailgate this evening and noticed that the outer brass bushing and plastic washer for the tailgate motor shaft was missing. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to sell or would be able measure the dimensions so I can have one made locally?

...Or is it the same as the inner bushing but reversed? In which case I could just have a copy of that made.
 
I stole a photo from Lil'John's post and circled it in red. It looks pretty simple but only having seen the inner one I don't know if the outer is different in some subtle but important way.

Going through my stuff and realized I still need this part...anybody have a spare?
 
In mine, those are brass. One of mine was cracked.

They are the same.

Edit: I thought you were saying the bushing was plastic. :doh:

Yeah, my one is brass too, it's just that there was only one. I think they are interchangeable, given how the casing looks.

Edit: No worries, I'm surprised I can write a full sentence sometimes so I just assumed I'd messed up the original post!
