Title: Vintage smoke still in business??
Post by: BCRD on March 07, 2020, 10:34:24 PM
I've been trying to email and call Nick for a while now regarding some rear set exhaust hanger bushings. He has not got back to me.  Is he still in business? Is there any other bushings I can use?

From my experience dealing with him; he is a slow responder, but worth the wait.

If it's the clear that plastic parts, I believe they are Harley Davidson parts. They might recognize them if you go to the parts counter.

Those plastic shims didn't hold up to whatever p.o. Did with a bike I bought. I'm gonna modify some old footpegs bushings to replace cracked plastic things. Hell, even some old inner tube and washers might work!

they are HD parts for sure. he told me at one time what they were for. you need to make sure there is a sleeve in whatever bushing is used or they will crush. Im going to guess the aluminum sleeve was missing.?

Mine are shot too. Didn't last long. They are still functional but badly distorted and crushed. I put some washers over them. Their nifty design makes them too weak to withstand any real stress.
I was thinking that some cut down poly GM swaybar end-link bushings would fit and be more robust. You used to be able to buy them as replacements at any speed shop.

Still can at any good Local auto shops. None of these "what year car is it?" jobs  :drool:. Sheesh.
