red bushing sway-a-way


Hi, installing the sway-a-way rear adjustable spring plate set I bought on PelicanParts I damaged severely one of the large red bushings.
I'm trying to find a replacement bushing, preferably RED but surely of the same material. (Polyurethane?)
Can anybody indicate me where I can find these?

Did you damage an inner or outer? One side has a larger ID on it than the other on those plates.

It looks like on their website you can order new bushings.

let me check at the shop tomorrow, but I may have a set I don't need. If so, pay the postage and I can send them to you.

Cheers

Just went through this and can verify the ID is different so try and order from the manufacturer or if Mr. Alton has a spare set....even better.

I just wanted to update all my bushings so I ended up using the originals after finding out about the ID difference.

I am considering buying the same Sway away spring plates- are you saying that these plates cannot use the stock rubber bushings? If that is true, then I won’t be buying them!
