Front spring bushes

[FC427]

Does anyone use EH front shackle bushes in there FC's in place of the shackle rubbers ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? .......FC427......

Without going to look, aren't EH springs wider that FE/FC? No good for a stockie?

The distance between the hanger on the FE is 2 1/8, then EH springs are 2 1/4. the bushes could be cut down ok, eh.

Thanks Guys I thought the OD was OK was just not sure of the ID ...I can part them off no problems ...I have a spare front bolt somewhere if I could only remember where so I can check measure it ...Since the shackels rubbers are the same front and rear I guess I could just measure a rear shackle  to get the measurement  :o :o......FC427.....

Hi John  Thanks      fc427ute@gmail.com    just found a front bolt, and the EH  bushes measure at OD in 0.998  ID 0.500 so ID is good does anyone know the ID of the spring eye  ??? ??? measured a shackle rubber but not very accurate .......FC427......

Fitted one side of the modified EH front bush to car and worked out great the bush had to be turned down in overall length to 2.290 and the piece that presses in to the spring 2.000 ..I think these will outlast the standard shackle rubbers by years .......FC427.....
