body bushings

whats everyone using for body bushings?

 

This is the best way that I've seen.

 

nice hockey pucks. Using the rubber bushings from the repro bidy kit. I like the valve springs under the brackets. thats different

 

Where would i get some pucks like that??

 

Dicks, Sports Authority or out by the pond at my house. About $16 for a dozen bag

 

I got mine from a friend who coaches hockey. You get a nice body lift with them too.

 

Are those the official 6 oz NHL hard rubber puck or did you use the softer 4 oz training puck?

 

lol, getting pretty technical here.


I dunno. Is there a difference?

 

Can't use them here, wouldn't pass inspection. The valve spring idea is interesting though.

X2! by the time you screw around with drilling the hocky pucks there a good deal. Had mine in my 3b for over 10 years now with no problems.

 

Still don't give enough flex in my book.

Use those instead of hockey pucks with the valve springs... Hmmm... now there's an idea! how did I come up with that before 6:00 AM?

 

McMaster-Carr 8695K159 polyurethane rod, 90A durometer hardness. I wanted these relatively stiff for a 1" body lift. They have been installed about 5 years with no problems but I suspect there is minimal frame flex in this application because it is boxed with 3/16 plate.

 

Any source for these? I could use a set..........

 

Here in West Virginia mine conveyor belt is plentiful. Cut it with a hole saw and you are good to go.
