    Yes, you can buy poly crossmember bushings. Gary Molitor used to make the trans bushings but stop a while back.

    I used the early style tension rod bushings from the prothan kit, threw them on a lathe after freezing them overnight… drilling was the hard part

    Waiting for the quote from the salesmen at work, once I have that I can see if people are still interested. I chose to have them poured instead of machined so production will take a bit longer and price will be slightly higher than if I were to turn them on my own. The finished product will be much nicer and will have a similar appearance to pieces that come in Prothane kits.
