DIY bushes

[ari666]

where can i get polyurathane from so i can make my own bushes? i need pretty much every one of them for the impala, but cbf paying for postage from the states, so i figure i would just cut out some round things out of a sheet of poly but i dont know where to get it from.

clarke rubber?

Have a go at this mob mate;
Mylar®, Plastic Sheet, Polyester Film Sheet and Sheet Properties - Grafix Plastics

they dont seem to do anything thick enough, what you reckon if i just stick a lot together, then cut it out with a razor blade?

Use a Heat gun to sort of melt it together. Put a bolt and washer through the middle and compress it while you warm it. Thats how they do it from the factory anyway!

Can i suggest mabye cutting them out with a holesaw, then just put some super glue in between the pieces and wrap it all up in electrical tape?

As for where to get it from, tried Bunnings?

thats cool, where can i get a 3 inch block of rubber from that i can cut the shapes out of? also what would be the best way to make a stencil? i was thinking i would put the old worn out one on the rubber pad and draw a line around it.

ideas?

Heat up the old rubber and and push it really hard into the urethane. then it will leave a stencil for you.

Just use those round things you fry eggs in and smash them into the rubber with a hammer. That'll do it.

Cookie cutter would work better.
