Since the factory bushing (weak plastic) broke, I have been riding on metal to metal on strut tower plate and the GC's upper spring plate. Which was a bitch to drive, cuz I turn one way and then straighten out and it would pull that way lol. Knocking my camber out of wack, popping, etc.....
Now with the black hard nylon (not brittle) bushing adaptor I made on a friends lathe, is the ideal part to have if you just have a coilover kit. I drive hard, pot holes come and go, heavy hitting.
Anyways, here are the picks.

They fit snug, but I still need to make a thin, tough rubber upper and lower flat rings to keep it from creekin. Also had to lower the perch to compensate the thickness of the part. Finished product:

Like I've said many times, I can make alot of stuff for our cars. I just need time and resources. So if anyone (Business Venturers Only)wants to hire me to make stuff, LMK;)
