Where to get Delrin bushings?

Postby Mmagus on Thu Nov 17, 2011 3:13 pm

After checking the local 944 folks, The ONLY place that seems to source 18mm delrin rear sway bar bushings is Paragon. And they don't have them. Anyone have a source? Or maybe a source for some delrin stock...i'm about ready to fab my own at this rate! lol

Thanks gents for the tips. I figured an update would be appropriate for folks in the future.

Russell, I have the solid mount delrin setup on the rear sway and though the polly bushings look to be great they are the wrong shape for that system.

Jerry, Racers Edge is actually the supplier for Paragon. I spoke with them today and they are no longer making that size and don't have any in stock.

So....what is my solution. Well, strangely enough on Amazon.com you can buy Delrin rod stock. The gent at Racers Edge said to look for 1 1/4. I'm gonna fab some up!

**Update**

Tim C. spoke with the gent at Racer's Edge today and it seems he has reconsidered. He will eventually be re-stocking the 18mm bushings but is gathering orders to have a run of them machined.

Also, I will be posting a DIY bushing post within a few weeks (providing my efforts work!)
