Default Re: IRS upper shock mount - Permanent fix

2 pairs were made this past weekend, and 2 pairs have gone out the door.

I've left the job of sourcing bushes up to you guys, as it's been a bit of a headache sourcing the correct ones, and they're not as cheap as I first thought.

I can now confirm that the part numbers are as follows -
Superpro poly bushes - SPF0204K ~$30.
Kelpro rubber bushes - 23036 ~$12.


Making the 2 pairs took a fair bit longer as because I increased the tube size, I needed to chamfer more from the disk in the lathe.
My trusty old welder has also struggling to keep up, with only just enough current delivery, but not on a high enough duty cycle...

...So I ordered a suitable MIG welder today, which will do the job comfortably and faster.

So keep the bushes coming guys, so I can try and make more at once.
At this rate, it looks like I'll probably only be able to make 2-3 pairs once a week or so.
