(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) are the poly graphite worth the extra $$ over the standard rubber ?

Mike,
I know that the vulcanized, non vulcanized gets debated all the time on the 911 boards. and some people SWEAR that when they get their stock ones out the bushing tears and leaves the skin on the metal where it was bonded to the metal. I know my personal experience would be that they are not bonded to the metal. you must have pushed out a few (hundred) of these yourself. And I think I've pushed out around a dozen. None of the ones I've pushed out were ever glued in. I have a giant vice that I use as a press... and I just pressed them all out. Front ones are especially easy. So I'd agree with you. someone could reproduce them and then press them back in. Perhaps use some glue or heat or something to help with installation, and to stick them to everything. I even think at 15$ a pop, there would be a market over with the 911 guys. That being said... the installation experimentation would have to be nailed down first, and it might not work. a lot of work for not so much gain. Especially when MUELLER bearings will RULE for all time brant |
