well good luck! Hope you get enough people on board.

Well we're almost there. If this saab sells then I can really get these moving faster. I've decided to use DOM tubing as the inside sleeving due to it's cost and the fact that it has enough strength for the job at hand. Actual spacers/sleeves are rediculous

just added another 2 sets the list. Up to 16 now guys! I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on the tooling and first production within 2 weeks

update?

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 4:36 pm

Tooling takes 3-4 weeks. After that, the bushings will start being produced.

cool, thanks.

I just received an email confirming the completion of the tooling. 2 "prototype" bushings are on their way to me for fitment and testing. Once I verify fitment, I am placing the big order for the rest of the bushings. Please stay tuned!

gimme dems

Ok test fitted today and the insert diameter is undersized by about .02". They are smaller than my specified dimensions so they screwed up. Emailed the manufacturer and awaiting reply. Aside from that and one other length, the bushing is perfect. Production should begin soon

my sloppy shatbox audi is patiently waiting

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 1:20 pm

Off to test fit!

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 1:52 am

Fitment has been verified. Production starts immediately!

Shouldn't you be using a steel sleeve to handle the clamping loads?

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 1:46 pm

I have one in there. Just didnt take a picture of it

LOOKING TO BUY anyones USED ALUM SUBFRAME BUSHINGS that will fit my coupe q.

Any reason why these couldn't just be turned down on a lathe? What special tooling would be needed?

I assume you are molding these Jared?

A mold is much cheaper for production due to set up time and machining times.

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Wed Apr 30, 2014 5:10 pm

Yes these are from a mold. It ensures consistent results, less production time, cheaper costs, and less final price. If I were to have these machined, you guys could expect to pay about $125-150 PER subframe. Nobody would do that
