Shift coupler bushing options ? Options

[pete000]

I am replacing my shift coupler bushings.

I purchased a white delrin set and they were way too sloppy and a poor fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Next up is a set of urethane and they fit much tighter but the pin still floats around in the holes which appear to be oval shaped? Not sure if I would like that play due to the pin floating in the oval shaped holes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I saw a set of solid brass bushings, these look interesting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Has any one used them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Are the pivot holes supposed to be oval shaped with slop around the pivot pin? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Any brand better than others? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

There seems to be a lot of manufacturers out there and the prices go from $12 bucks to $40.00 for the brass ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

i got my brass bushings for the coupler on e-bay and they came quickly, fit is tight but smooth. they are installed in my original stock coupler. now i like it, it’s tight and some think it’s too tight.

i went another direction when i was waiting for my press i ordered to time so i could press out the stock pin that was stuck, i got a new perfect shift bar from Bruce stone, then i sent thst to Rauch and Speigel, to install their billet coupler and their pin and bushing(round hole). their system uses 2 set screws they hold the pin so that you don’t have to press it into place to hold it or to remove it, so much easier to remove with the set screws. they drilled and tapped my bar for those, you would have to do this yourself or have a shop do it. They did it for me. I currently have that for sale in the classified section.

i like the brass bushings- should last for ever lol!
