im working on some custom arms for a BJ front end, ordered some of the red eurathane bushings but they have a taper to match the factory arms. ( not planning on using the factory arms at all) my question is once i pull the bearings out of the beams will the ID of the beams be even or do they still have a taper? and what bushings do you / have you used?

Unless I miss my guess, the outside diameter of the bushing is going to be the same as the red bushings and the inside diameter will be the same as the O.D. of your arm. The lower arm has two different diameters. Your bushing will/should have the same. Everyone seems to like Delran for the material, real hard lasts a good long time.

I agree... I ruined a set of urethane bushings in one weekend. Get the Delrin ones once or the red ones 20 times.

Who supplies Delrin ones?

Cheers Ben but they're for ball joint front end...

cheers back, but the thread was origally about BJ beam bushings you didnt specify you wanted to know where to get delrin bushing for anything other than that. im sure if that site has 'em for BJ they'll have 'em Kp too .... its comments like that make me think twice about posting to try and help somebody out

Hey Ben you're damn right, forgive me. Trouble is with forum messages is that they can sometimes be misunderstood, when I said cheers I genuinely meant it..

I've not been able to find anyone who supplies Delrin bushes for KP

Martin, i apolgize, i was a little pissy this morning anyhow and took your message wrong. its easy to do, ive gotten into a couple arguements with the wife due to her or i misunderstanding a text, damn english language having so many meanings for words depending on how you say it and context!

So they only had delrin bushings for BJ beams on that link ?

If you can't find them on their website, just call them. They have them for kingpin beams. That is where I got mine. They are like 40 or 50 bucks.

Take some Delrin to the local machine shop
