Delrin bushings

[Chris Yetman]

I happen to have a brand new control arm bushing from an '86 CGT in my desk
drawer, I believe it may be different from the earlier ones but the dims.
are..

overall length inner sleeve
1.7320"
length of outer cylinder to shoulder
1.1615"
diameter of hole running through centre
0.4040"
outer diameter of steel cylinder
1.4630"
distance from inner sleeve to outer cylinder opposite shoulder
0.2680"
diameter of shoulder
1.8940"

When I installed my bushings they were a light press fit into the control
arms, and the bolt that holds them in place clamped the inner sleeve to the
sub-frame, so nothing actually slips, the rubber in the bushing takes all
the rotational deflection

Hope this helps

Does anyone have the dimensional specs for the control arm bushings on the 
4k, URQ, & CGT cars?
I have a lathe and can get Delrin rod from our vendors. I have made 
suspension bushings for old Jaguar cars (friends, etc.) form Ultra Hi 
Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), and would like to try to make some 
Delrin units for my URQ.
Do the commercially available units use a steel center sleeve? What sort of 
clearance do they have, e.g., press fit, etc.? Are they a mere copy 
dimensionally of the original?
TIA
