Help getting a small plastic suspension bush
Hi,
Usually I'd opt for a metalastic bush for suspension and they are available. However due to the design of the old cars suspension and the
potential travel the spring shackle can move (especially all the speedbumps it was clearly never designed to deal with), I think it is a good
candidate for a bush that has full rotation. I have not measured the size but it looks dinky maybe 18mm.
Can anyone recommend me a site that list different sizes to pick from rather than kits for cars?
Thanks in advance.

Have you thought about making one? I've seen a few youtube videos around moulding polyurethane bushes;

Worth checking Powerflex and contacting them if you don't find exactly what you're looking for?

Cheers, I'll check them out. There is the possibility of me making them as I have a wood lathe.

I wouldn't have thought of making them out of wood. Might be worth researching what the Romans used on their chariots. I'd imagine something
like walnut for racing around the Colluseum or pine for a more leisurely cruise on the cobble roads?
