Greetings all.
Has anyone found a suitable replacement for the rubber bushings? In the past I bought a NOS kit but the rubber had hardened. Perhaps someone on the Forum has found a modern replacement.
thanks

Have you ever tried coating the rubber in a silicone spray? Have herd it works for some other fellas.

Sure did, things were hard as rocks. Being that they are lipped they would not compress in order to seat them.
