Hi all,

I wanted to change my moustache bar bushings to MSA's Urethane ones. I took the bar to a shop secialised on drivetrains to push the old bushings out, what they did. Back home I put the new bushings in but the didn' fit snug. Is there also an outer sleeve between the bushing and the moustache bar's "open eye" ? If yes, the shop pressed it out, too and I need a new pair. Has anyone a pair or does any one know a source or has anyone of you the exact measures of that sleeve and it's kind of metal so that I can try to find a similar tube/pipe so that iI can ask someone here to fabricate it for me.

Thanks

Rolf

The outer casing of the bush would only be mild steel. i had to remove mine for a different brand of bush here in OZ. I had to grind away the flanged lip at each end before i could press them out , the metal casing ground off fairly easy. Sounds Like it might be Easier to find another mustache bar than find sleeve's that would do the job.

Cheers Roger

I think a lot has to do with the brand of bushings. I've had one set that fit tightly without the sleeve, and one that needed the sleeve. I guess each manufacturer has their own idea about how they should fit. :stupid:

Thanks for both replies. Unfortunately it seems that I have a bigger problem than expected. Does anybody know more details /measures on those outer sleeves?

If my memory serves me correctly, A piece of exaust pipe will

work to replace the outer sleeve.

V( 240Z, thank you for the good idea. I will try that.
