Exclamation Need to borrow a late control arm for product development - offer inside!

Ok guys, I am going to try to offer a full line of Delrin bushings over the next year. I have extra early arms, but no late ones to use for test fitting. I need one that I can borrow for at least a couple months - it needs to be intact, ball joint condition is irrelevant. In return for providing me this part to use, I will give you a set of the control arm bushings that I come up with.

Paul- the 924s uses early control arms and late offset wheels to fit them under the fenders. Unless of course you have one of the aluminum arms lying around.

How soon do you expect to have the rear early offset bushings available? I was planning on ordering full replacement bushings for my 86 in the next couple of weeks. I've got on original rear bushing that is starting to fall apart so I need to get it done soon.

Jessse - will do

These bushings will not be available any time soon - there is ALOT of processes that have to be figured-out/programmed/adjusted. I am optimistic that they will be ready sometime this summer, that's about all I can say.

Sharky, quick question, slightly OT. Will you accept overseas orders for your new parts? I'm considering a set of your hatch pins and exhaust studs, if the shipping isn't prohibitive.

Something to keep in mind is that currently only the 30mm front sways have delrin end bushings available... perhaps making these in 25.5 and 26.8 would be nice....
