a body bushing dimensions

[OUTLAW]

does anyone have the dimensions of the bushings that go in the leaf springs on an Abody ? with this long weekend I thought I would either make some out of delcothane or use some of the new ones I have in a box (but cant tell a- from b body bushings)
so dimensions would be helpful
thanks

if you're talking about the front eye bushings, some were 1 1/2, and some were 2"...i don't know what determined what cars got which, but i was under the assumption that a bodies had 1 1/2" bushings, so i made a set out of nylon and had to make another set when i found out i have 2" bushings...you'll just have to measure yours...you can do that with them in the car...

just trying to avoid crawling under the car today thought someone might have the official size so I didnt make then too short or something

well...as far as length, they need to be at least 2 1/2"....that's the spring width....i made mine 3", with a steel sleeve just a tad longer so that when you clamp down the front bolt, it doesn't bind the bushing...i posted pics of them awhile back...i'll see if i can find the post
