A guy in Australia is looking for brass/bronze front and rear shackle bushings for his 1928 AR. Need suggestions on where to get them. I suggested he source the material and make them but he is not setup to do so. I think I can rework 1909-1913 brass rear T bushings for the fronts but they would be too short for the rear. (have to do more checking)
Thanks

The guy that makes new springs uses brass, perhaps he has some to sell too

Did some checking, yes we could use the front bushings from the T and would have to double up. I contacted Travis at A-springs and then looked at his web site. He sells the bushings. I need to call Travis again and check some things including if he ships over seas. Then have to contact Phillip and see what he wants to do.

Thank everyone.

Isnt there some form of a fastenal or McMaster carr in AU? The bushings are nothing special so any ol brass/bronze bushing will work and come in a near infinite sizes.
