Looking at the wear and tear on those bushings I have to wonder what kind of punishment the solid mount lowers are doing to the internals.
Here what I found after disassembly.
All 3 bushings were split.
Hey guys,
Got an update with my 4lb lower.
I had noticed my tribar wasnt sitting in the middle of the bushing material anymore.
I removed the lower to look at it better and noticed the bushing material is actually being torn apart.
I looked up the part number that we have and the specs are below.
I think the 700 psi rating may be too low for the pressure it gets from the rotating of the engine.
I looked up other material tubing and found a polyurethane tubing that comes in 40A(2000psi) 60A(4400psi) 75d(7500psi).
Part number is 87235K12 on mcmaster carr.
I ordered 6 inches of each to see what might be best.
The only thing you give up is the original material is rated to 450 degrees F where this material is rated to 200 degrees F.
Im interested in a idler if still available to go with my setup. Also you have a part number on the new rubber material you can pm me? Thanks
I still have the 60a in my lower and they still look like new. I have the 80a in the garage for a back up but don't know if it will be required but when I upgrade my blower I may upgrade the bushingsRymax how those upgraded bushings holding up?
CJ428 you sold out of these right?
Maybe just sell the upgraded drive mechanisms?

CJ428 I've read through the many pages of trials & tribulations of the CJ428 4# caged Cobra lower. I think it would be a shame to put this much effort in to stop now. How many people are willing to put up a deposit so you can see if there's enough interest & need to make another batch assuming you are willing. There was one batch of 5 and one of 20 so far, plus a spare or two. What would the next batch size need to be? Would it be easier for you to just offer the 8.6 caged type pulley. I'm ok with leaving the terminator off and chasing the small parts down myself for mine if it would make your job easier
