[TheForge] Trailer bushings

Sun Jul 20 22:11:01 2003

Now there is a pickle, I don't even have inserts for those, such a throw
away society... Any one need good leaf spring material, I have TONS.....
Once again at like 7.35 each I just replace the springs.

I hate it but thats the parts availibility and the time Ihave to deal with.
The material is Nylon 6/6 usually, and you can buy a 6' section of it from
mcmaster-carr.  www.mcmaster.com.

Look for nylon hollow rod if i remember correctly.

Thanks

Paul
