I ordered a couple sets of rod bushings from AA Performance but these seem to be rolled from flat stock with some sort of dovetail locking feature built into them.

Originals already in the rods seems to be some sort of seamless brass. The AA Performance look to be maybe steel backing with babbit material overlay?

Wondering if anyone has experience with AA performance small end rod bushings? Checked AA and I think they are basically the same design (with dovetails).

I also see AA has KolbenSchmidt listed as well as Genuine Porsche but I cannot tell from either of those pictures on-line if they are seamless (I think I see seams) or basically same design as AA Performance.

I'm tempted to send off a set to my local machine shop and see how they look when finished, drilled, and honed. Not really concerned about the dovetails since there really is no way to have them come "unlocked" once the bushing is pressed into the rod but I hate to do this twice.

Recommendations?
