Title: Shocker bushes need some @ 12mm not the normal 10mm
Post by: Freakshow on May 10, 2012, 11:21:29 am

Need 2 or more shocker bushes for a CR 125 or 250 shocks top mount.   

From best i can tell with the measuring stick is they have an Eye diameter of 21.30mm ID ( not sure what that makes the bush ID but must be close to same ) being about 16.20mm wide -  with the original bush eye itself being about 18-19mm wide but assume i can cut it if too wide.

Try a car shock specialist Freaky , I picked up some 10, 12 and 13mm bushes with and without steel insert for $2.50 each. Cheers

How much walter as per spec's above to fit into that Honda CR shock mount?  and if so... can you post some out.  Refundable if they dont fit in ?

Yes steel in or without steel. Still  the Sus Shop( :D) is local for you and appears to have a good selection., take a sample and be happy. Cheers

One day I was desperate for a shock bush to replace a flogged out on an old Works shock so I went behind my local Selbys Suspension shop on a Sunday morning and scooped 8 old 10 car shockies with good bushes out of their skip bin. I'm still using them!

yes i just though the 21.30 part was a funny size ? i have nothing in about 10 brands of shocks that comes close... plus i need the 12mm and the steel insert is too tough for me to even drill wider......

Kerry, they are a piece of piss to make , do you have access to a lathe or know of someone local whom owes you a favour ;)    As you buy the "poly tuff "   .... shackle bush ( JX  30mm OD x 30W x 12.3 ID )  trim it up to size and turn up a internal bush.
