Default RandomTech Torque Arm, which Relo Bracket

Anybody ever fit either a BMR or UMI torque arm relocation bracket with a Random Tech torque arm?
I have an adjustable Arm and an M6, LT1.

I have a Random Tech torque arm and UMI #2207 98-02 F-Body T56 torque arm relocation kit on my car. Everything fit together like a glove. You will need to use your Random Tech torque arm bushing as the Random Tech torque arm is 1" diameter and UMI's stuff is a little beefier.

I would measure the overall length of the torque arm.

I had a customer that had an aftermarket torque arm that was a tad shorter than most and it would come out of the bushing during acceleration.

I'm not 100% certain but it might have been a Random Tech.

I would measure the lenght and compare to ours or BMR.

Do you happen to know WHERE I can find a NEW Random Tech bushing, since they stopped manufacturing them ( the TAs AND the bushings) at least 10 years ago??

No, I don't know of any places that sell a 1" bushing. I was going to replace mine when I overhauled my suspension but it was in good shape so I reused it. The best option I could come up with was to get a piece of 1-1/4" x .120" wall seamless tubing, weld a cap on one end, slide it over the RT torque arm, and use a UMI bushing. You may want to measure the diameter of the RT torque arm to verify it in fact is 1" OD, it may be 1-1/8". It's been over a year since I measured mine when I was trying to figure this out.

Thanks, and yes, I was also considering a 'shim' set up like you suggest here.
