Cutting strut rod bushings for correct geometry?

I cut mine when I rebuilt my front end.. It was pretty easy using a molding/trim saw and then cleaning it up on a flat surface with sandpaper. Then I cut the metal insert using a cutoff wheel so the nut would screw on enough to get the cotterpin in. I did it a little at a time to make sure I didn't take off too much. Obviously the back one will need a lot more cutting then the front one. Pretty easy mod and much better to have the harder poly bushing there instead of the rubber one that gives a lot more.
