Looking to make some bushings(well, have some made by my machinist)

Having a hard time locating the inner sleeves similar to what energy suspension uses. Called them, but they told me to basically go pound sand, and look all these random places.

Outter diameter doesnt so much matter, length does not matter, if I could get long portions it would be even better.

Any help, or suggestions appreciated.

 

why not just get some round rob bushing material
drill the center out in a lathe to whatever you want (10mm, etc)

****, thats just what I was looking for!

Thanks!

 

What material is the metal inner sleeve in the ES kits made of?

 

Hit me up on aim I'l show you were u can get some

 

just go to macmaster and get some solid round aluminum stock

edit: just checked and they even sell round tubing in aluminum in many different ID's, OD's and lengths

go to http://mcmaster.com go to bottom right under raw materials, click metals, click aluminum, click either "tubes" or "rods and discs"...... if you click tubes then click on round and then choose the ID you want and see what OD choices and length choices they have........ if you are looking for a 10mm ID i would start with the .37"ID and use a 10mm bit to finish it off since all they carry is standard measurements........ .37"= 9.398MM

probably dont want to use aluminum for bushing or sleeves inside bushings.
