[QUOTE="cj428mach, post: 15046503, member: 142081"] I was wondering if a guy could put a copper washer or something soft on the shaft of the lower where the tri-bar threads on. The idea would be when its getting hammered the washer would give and instead of letting the lower thread itself together even tighter rather than bottoming out on the shaft and beginning to become hard on the threads. Either that or put a little tack weld on it to prevent further tightening but it might take a lot of weld to hold it, lol. The black stuff I sent you is Black Polyurethane Tubing, 1-1/4" OD, 1/2" ID, 6" Long, 80a Durometer, from McMaster Carr.com P/N: 87235K12 You can find it at the link here. [url]http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/121/3584/=z9yadv[/url] It says its for temps -20 to 185 degrees but a member here has used it and said it works great. He went with the 60a durometer stuff in urethane and was happy with it. [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?781351-Lower-Caged-Pulley-Rebuild-Option-for-03-04-Terminators[/url] The orange stuff I sent you was silicone which has a hardness of 60a and operating range of -60 to 500 degrees. This is what I plan to use in my lower. [url]http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/121/3578/=z9ybw2[/url] Are you going to have the machine shop cut the poly bushings for you? They don't have to be that precise as you can see from the one link I posted just cutting them at home and cleaning them up with a grinder will work fine. [/QUOTE]
