Red Bushings .

ok .. so I have my F1 inspired "cantilever suspension " in the works .. all drawn up and already. I have already started cutting pieces . (2WD truck) .

but i'm running into a road block . well , it's a color thing .. any way .. I have found the BLACK poly bushings avaliable .. but not the red .
I would prefure the RED .. so I thought I would ask .

spring eye bushings .

ANYBODY HAVE A SOURSE ?


Energy WONT sell seperatly ! they want me to buy a kit .. or 2 or 3 .. to make up what I need , and thats just stupid !

so , anybody have even a couple laying around ? I need 32 of em!

maybe with your kindness , I can get what I want .

Something to keep in mind is that the black bushings are impregnated with graphite while the red are not, if this makes a difference to you.

Try these guys. They seem to be selling some parts individually. I guess I don't really understand what you need.

Oh and thanks for the attitude.

sorry for the "additude" ..

but I have been to every energy supplier , and same thing .. "can not buy individual pieces " .. "you gotta buy the whole kit"

all I want is the specific " spring eye bushings" .. thats it . but in the kit you get ALL the spring/frame bushings .. I dont need it all , especially since I nee 32 bushings .. and I can only get 8 usable in a kit .. thats 4 kits ..

just looking for a better option , but still want red .

didnt mean to offend ...

OK. Me too. So do you mean the bushings that go in the ends of our leaf springs? Like I would normally have 8 of in my stock set up?

So I'm thinking screw Energy. What about OME and Daystar? OME stuff all seems to be Yellow. Daystar stuff also seems to come in kits. Then I stumbled on these guys
http://www.prothane.com/
I think that is just their corporate site but not a place to buy (but lots of info)

One retailer I came across, I'm sure there are more.
