Turboyaris, you're making aluminum bushings for the torsion beam, correct? Do you think you'd be able to make aluminum bushings for other suspension components? If you could, I am sure you'd get a lot of business.

NST already came up with a solid bushing for the engine mount and there was very little interest.

Solid bushings are for hardcore racers...

Urethane bushings on the other side would probably have a good demand. I know I would like some...


And I believe the solid bushing turboyaris showed here is only intended to be the mold for some urethane bushings...

I can make you anything you want

The bushings were originally intended to verify that they would work, and then be produced in either urethane or delrin. However, if you are truly interested, I could make you a special set of bushings in aluminum. p.m. me and we could talk more seriously about it. I feel that urethane or delrin would sell better then aluminum because of racing regulations. Also too though, if you were interested in a full set of aluminum bushings, that would allow me to make them all in aluminum, so I could then make them all in delrin or urethane at a later date.

You know, you could DEFINITELY make a killing making molds to make poly or delrin bushings!!! Think: most or all of the people doing autox or just wanting stiffer suspension would love to have that set! It's a good idea, you know. Do try to run with it. For the sake of all Yaris kind.
