I'm currently modifying the Mfactory B-series bushings to fit my D-series shift linkage.It just needs some turning on a lathe and a little sanding to adjust the dimensions.I also asked Hardrace about their shifter bushings which are also made from TPV and they have a durometer hardness of 85 front and rear.
I'll post pics of the bushing when i'm done ;-)
All Done!
Mfactory B-series shifter bushings modified to fit D-series shift linkage
Made a new stainless steel bush to fit the B-series bushing,and filled in the gaps on the side with some silicone just to make it smooth.Bushing has been milled and sanded on the lathe .
So if the true enthousiast want they can modify these to fit their D-series. ;-)
It is recommended to use a lithium grease but any grease will do. Just not something that's dry-film nor WD40 which tends to be a bit too slippery if it gets all over the bushing.
Some heat also helps as the durometer is quite high. We recommend a heat gun or if that's not available, a hair dryer on HIGH for a couple minutes should be ample.
