ok guys just a little update but no pics sorry. I had to send my Sub-frame back to Hinson for it to be re welded. Mine was one that was made during the time period of his little recall he posted about. so I'm playing the waiting game till it gets back.

They look like nylon bushes, are you turning/lathing your own?

Definitely buying a bead/sand blaster now !

Nope these are Delrin Bushings. I did not make this set, there is a Group Buy for them on www.rx7club.com I got in on it, well worth it!!! The sand blaster is the best tool in the shop right now.
