Cutting strut rod bushings for correct geometry?

The bottom line is there is the correct way to do the job. Not saying your rigging didn't work for you and maybe others . But if they have to be modified to fit your using the wrong parts. They do make the correct bushings for every application. If you are that cheap That you insist on cutting and using missed matched parts to make it work you, Go for it. I on the other hand know what bushings go with what application and can install them correctly without cutting them. I gave you the pics and you can clearly see there is a difference and why your bushings have to be modified. Your just one of those people who are proud of your engineering to overcome something that you didn't understand in the first place. So you just keep on cutting your parts to fit . If you can get them a little thicker you might be able to get two sets out of one pair. I should have known not to try and explain the reason there is a problem with these bushings. There is always a custom fix it guy who's been there.
