Default Energy suspension bushings in Blox LCAs. I just need a little help.

I want to cram some ES bushings in my Blox LCAs. The bushings I have are the right width, but just a little too thick. Is there any real harm in shaving the bushings down less than 1/8 inch from their initial diameter?

If nobody knows, somebody has to at least have bushings that are shot. If someone can provide me with busted bushings that I can remove the rubber from, I'll see if I can make my idea work and report back.

There shoudn't be any problem with taking an 1/8 of an inch off as long as you do it evenly around the bushing and tht could be the hard part

I was thinking about putting a bolt through the center and chucking it in the drill press to turn down with a file, or find someone with a lathe...
