Any interest in a new part for the advanced suspension? Rear spring bushing

[w4rkry]

Ryan, the color really doesn't matter much to me. If it makes it quicker and easier for you, I will take whichever color is most common!

Oh jeez, sorry I'm blind the spring sits inside the rubber.

Quick question, I might of missed the answer: I saw you are using an aluminum coilover tophat, it's okay to use the upside-down perch in place of that, or should I hunt down an aluminum tophat like you got?

The upside down perch works great. This product here is just an even better option. I race with an upside down perch and love it. I cant wait to upgrade to these units tho.

Well, time for an update again. The 7 pairs I shipped to the guys at insanity made it safely. I had some trouble figuring out the shipping and customs but in the end it all worked out. The guys who also wanted the delrin spacers from Ryal got them.




Ben Rogers also went to insanity but I hadn't managed to get his bushings made in time to ship with the rest. I made them after insanity but ran into unexpected problems with shipping again and my sister got married last week but i plan to ship them tomorrow and they look great!





After I mailed the first batch to insanity I decided I was not going to drill out and grind smooth 240 washers. So I looked around and eventually found some I was happy with that I don't have to drill out.

Old washers:


New washers:



I also had some problems with my new inserts. I tried a couple different things to fix it but a few bushings ended up with cosmetic flaws that I am not happy with. This week I am going to try to get some new inserts made to fix that problem.

I also had difficulty with the colours. With my original plan of one mould it wouldn't matter how many colour combinations there was. However with 5 moulds to pour at once I found I have a very difficult time pouring 2 of them one colour and 3 another colour fast enough. The material would start to cure a little more than I like before I could pressurize the tank. Because of that I'm considering making these in order of colour combinations instead of who asked first. Its not really what I would like to do so while I am waiting for the new inserts to be made I will have some time to consider it. There aren't that many different colour combinations people have asked for and I really like how some of them look, just need to figure out a better way to do it.

When I finally got started it was a bit of a steep learning curve having forgotten I had to drill out all the washers, not accounting for paypal fees and not expecting customs stuff to be so confusing. However I have most of that figured out now I think and have gotten shipping quotes out to a few people now. Once I get my new inserts and figure out what order to do these in I will start messaging the people whose bushings I will make next.

Thanks again everyone for your patience!

So I finally got my part pricing figured out! In the original post i had said I charged $30usd/pair for the originals before and it should be around there for these production ones. Good news is i can keep that price! Bad news is the Canadian and USD have changed in relation to each other in an unfavorable way for you guys. In the spring the exchange rate was $0.73 making $41CAD worth $30USD. The dollar is at $0.81 right now and I still need $41CAD which works out to $33.30USD at this point in time. When I am ready to make your parts I will private message you with my paypal info. I will make them for you once I am paid.
I still haven't gotten shipping sorted, I will update when I get that done. I'm busy at work right now, poured the third mould today and will have to hurry on it to get the first shipment out to the guys going to the insanity meet in time.
If your going to the insanity meet, want bushings and haven't*received*a private message from me please send me one very soon.

I do NOT need mine asap. If someone else needs them to get their car on the road they can take my spot. I dont think our autocross starts until around late MAY. If someone is pushing you to make theirs just know you can push me back to help them out!

Ok! Sounds good, thanks.

Finally an update! Today I received my machined inserts so I can make the moulds! I quickly poured one mould today before I came home. If things go as planned I will have my 5 moulds ready for monday and can pour the first batch monday evening (jan 29).
I haven't quite decided how I'm going to pick an order of who's to make first. Most fair of course would be in order of who asked first, but I think it makes sense that since there are a bunch of people headed to the insanity meet I should make theirs first and get them shipped there in time for the meet. That saves people on shipping to do a larger group like that (I presume). The first time I shipped to Ryal it took 8 days to get there, meaning if things go as planned I can do 3 pours, get them in the mail Feb 2 and they should be there Friday the 9th. Ill try and find out who from my list is going to the insanity meet. Message me if your going and see this. I'm planning to be there if i get my passport in time and was going to just take them all in my suitcase but I have been told the airport security people aren't cool with you taking products across the boarder to sell. So I don't want to risk having them confiscated at the airport.
Anyway, the plan this week is to get the moulds made, find out who is going to insanity and get some money from them. Next week make and ship them. After that I'll figure out how I'll do the rest.
Thanks a lot for everyone's patience! I'm sorry this is taking so long, but i'm excited to finally have everything I need to get started on this.

I'll take a set, 40A black is fine. I never really liked the flipped strut piece thing (it works though so I can't really complain about it).

[FastOrBust]

I want in! 40A black is fine

[Hulspowered]

I'll take a set 40A Blue/Blue
