And you have to remember first on WITH THE BUSHING!

The factory bushing goes into the k member first. Then the strut rod goes thru it. One piece. Best IMO

Forgot to put them on ONCE!

Yep. Just find someone with other suspension parts from a stripper and they should have them.

Yup. Just did.

Hoping to get everything prepped into the new K to reduce the hassle underneath the car.

A great paint for that stuff is appliance paint, it is some sort of epoxy and is really durable.

Posted up in the Wanted thread.

Down side of them not "going bad" is I think they get scrapped when people upgrade.

Checking my stash later

Speaking of epoxy, any suggestions to use to glue plexiglass to aluminum? Something that won’t melt under extreme heat or crack under extreme cold? And can with stand vibrations

Both difficult to glue. Superglue maybe. Will hold, but not a true bond that I would trust under vibration etc

@toolmanmike Deere sure didn’t take long did it

I may find a better way than epoxy.

Look into some of the 3M automotive adhesives. Some of them are crazy

Most epoxies do not stick to plastic. JB Weld makes one that will. BUT it's not going to grab the aluminum very well. Maybe if roughed up. Almost any glue peals off aluminum. What is it for? There are some very aggressive double side tapes that will hold if not much weight and enough surface area.

OK. You could have led in with that... If you can do at least a 1/4 inch lap and its flat -superglue gel or 3m molding tape should work.

Yeah, probably should have

Molding tape is tremendous. Only challenge might be how thick it is depending on your design.

Can't you clamp it in mechanically somehow? Would be best even if its just a few points. Do that and the tape or glue and never have to think about it.
