UPDATE: Rubber Trailing Arm Bushings Group Buy, Order placed - group buy closed Options

[bdstone914]

Update: 3/9/2021
Bushings are paid for and will be hipped from RD Canada soon.
It looks like RD Canada will be adding these to their line soon. I convinced them there is a demand for the rubber bushings with Elephant racing as the only other supplier currently offering them.
I have a jig made up that I think will allow the installation of the bushings without a shop press. I will start a new thread with the details and progress.regress on it. If it works I can lend it out and will share the parts source info. It basically uses a piece of 10mm all thread to pull the shaft through while clamping on the bushings so they do not get pulled into the trailing arm.

Bushings were brought in to Restoration Designs Canada. I will be placing the order as soon as all are paid up. Will send PM's to all who have inquired. Last chance to get in on the group buy.

Shipping will be about $7 per set if ten sets are ordered. We are at ten sets now if everyone who has replied comes through.
Reshipping will be $8.
I prefer Venmo as form of payment as I am doing this at cost. If you are computer challenged I can take a check.
Cost total for softer bushings is $100 and $110 for the harder bushings.
If you want two or more sets deduct $8 from cost of the second set.
Please email me at bdstone914 at AOL dot com with you full name, address, number of sets wanted and hardness.


I am going to order at least one set of real rubber trailing arm bushings from Restoration Designs Europe. They offer a street grade and a stiffer performance grade.
The only other source for rubber trailing arm bushings I know of is Elephant Racing and they are very expensive.
I have requested a quote for shipping on up to 10 sets. The current prices are 69 for the street version and 77 Euros for the performance version.
Rubber bushing are difficult to install but are like the original bushings that add torsional rigidity and adapt to the trailing arm variations.

I am going to get one set of each. The biggest problem I had installing the rubber bushing is that the bushing wanted to push out or scrunch up as the shaft was inserd. I suspect the stiffer bushing may be easier to install.
