Ive been searching for days to determine which bushings I need for my thing!
Ive searched the site and emailed several suppliers including Saco, McKenzies and others, Pacific Customs was the only reply I got and they could only guess!

I'm assming that the bushings would be the same for a comparable year Bug?
Since I want Delrin I'm having to go to suppliers that don't specialize in Things Any help would be great!!!

The delrin bushings would be the same as the bushings used on a T-1 ball joint beam the dimensions are the same. Even though Thing arms are different than T-1 the OD is the same. I know because I run Thing front ends with Delrin bushings. I have been meaning to call McKenzies to see if I can get one piece bushings for top and bottom instead of the two piece bottoms. The crappy urethane ones you can get one piece but for some reason not the delrin. I am sure I can have them made up from somewhere.

Thanks for the reply! If anyone has any info on the rear spring plate and A arm bushings I'd appreciate that as well!
