Now you got me looking threw receipts to see if those were Dorman pins I put in last year from Napa Kenny. THXs

Take a look at the Macmaster-carr catolog. They are in L.A and are pretty much the go too place for odd hard to find hardware.When we make hinges at work, the bushings are made from a harder metal than the pin. This helps the pin to slide inside of the bushing. You are correct in you thoughts. Had I known that the bushings were brass, I would have looked for something else. You never want a soft bushing. They will distort. The owner of our shop, wanted to order me some bushings from one of our suppliers. I would rather make sone out of alumabronze. Dorman just fooled me, and I wanted to spread the word, before someone else makes the same mistake. I know we can make some bushings out of alumabronze that will hold up. Thing is, I am not a machinist, and although, I can run a leith, I kind of wanted a machinist to make them for me. They do that every day, and are better at set up, than I am. We will see how this set works when I get and install them.
We looked at Mc Master, never heard of Tacoma screw. Since we need sizes I still had to order a set. My truck is my dailey driver, so I cant pull parts and wait. Mc Master bushings are about $10 each, so $40 for 4. I guess thats not that bad since your getting a good quality bushing, and not some garbage. Thanks for the input, I will have to poke around Tacoma screw and see what there all about.Take a look at the Macmaster-carr catolog.

Also check out "Tacoma Screw"
They both carry a pretty good asortment of bronze and brunzeal stuff
"Tacoma Screw Products" is a local northwest company that carries some pretty obscure hardware.We looked at Mc Master, never heard of Tacoma screw. Since we need sizes I still had to order a set.
