DIY bushes

[ari666]

im liking the hole saw idea best, i might heat it up first so it cuts through a bit cleaner. i would really like to hear from a JC memeber that has done this to their VN before, or if their cousin has done it. some expierence is required.

has anyone ever made them from cork?

im looking at a champagne cork and it looks like roughly the right size...

You can buy urethane blocks at places like in the link below..You would just have to drill or cut them to how you want them.

where i used to work we had barstock of the stuff, machined it down to shape in a lathe.

exactly what type of bushes are you planning on making ? the little donut ones like on commodore sway bar links or the more complicated control arm type cylindrical bush with a steel tube through the middle ? If its just the donut type you could do it, the other type don't bother unless you can make a simple mould and cast them.
How thick sheet are you looking for ?

I happen to work with urethane if you are after any tips
