I'm sad to say I don't think Ed is making these any more. His website has gone away. I can try to ask him to find out for certain.
A friend of mine asked me to look at the shifting in his car. Drove it and it was hilariously difficult to find a gear. I pulled the cover off the tunnel and there was absolutely no shifter bushings at all. None. Zero. Nada.
He ordered a set of the Delrin bushings from Pelican. They weren't quite as high quality as the ones Ed made but it was a very reasonable substitute. These also do not have the elongated opening that the original bushings had.
A really nice complement is the JWest conical set screw with a jam nut and the replacement coupler clamp. The clamp only requires one 13mm to adjust which makes it much much easier to fine tune the adjustment sitting in the driver seat. You can adjust with one hand vs two with the original clamp. Once you use the JWest clamp you will wonder why nobody ever thought of it before!
