Anybody have some sitting around? Seems like various different companies make these now. I am wondering is someone can measure the OD of the bushing for me?
I replaced mine with the Delrin bushings a few years ago. I think it was when only one guy was selling them online. I couldn't get one of the hinges reamed out too good at the time since the hinges were on my Jeep. Then I further messed up by trying to hammer the bushing in.
Fast forward to today. I have the hinges removed from my Jeep. I measured my old Delrin bushings at 0.465" OD. I got a 15/32 (0.469) drill bit and opened up the hole in the hinge on my drill press. Fits like a glove! Nice and snug but not too tight.
So I go on ebay to order more of these bushings and the ebay drawings are showing 0.43 OD?!
This is a pic of the messed up one. You can kind of see it was reamed off center when I did it a few years ago. And looks like the original rusted in bushing is still sort of attached on the top left side of the hole. Maybe I need to order some new used ones and start over?
