Title: Shifter Linkage Bushes Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on October 01, 2010, 11:06:12 PM I will be piecing together a Speco Shifter and modified linkages for an Aussie 4 speed soon, just wanted to find out if anyone knows where I can get new bushes for the linkages as the ones I have are worn :'(

Go out in the mulga. Plenty of 'new' bushes there. :D Title: Re: Shifter Linkage Bushes Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on November 01, 2010, 09:58:19 PM So anyway, couldn't find the right size bushes out in the Mulga, anyone else?

What bushes are you after? Is it the the bushes in the centre of the shift, ie the gear lever pivot bushes? If you are happy enough to send me your shifter, I have access to a lathe, perhaps I can turn you some up if you can't find some replacement bushes.

The pins aren't so hard, it's the bushes I really need to source. The only bush that came with the shifter is plastic, I just need 2 more.
