Im in the same position with my project, and need some made for my rear axle links.
Any help on this would be good.

DIY it's easy, if you have a lathe/access to a lathe, you can buy poly bar the diameter you want, put in freezer overnight, you'll then have around 15-20 minutes machine time on it, if you run out simply refreeze and start again.
What precisely do you both want ?, delrin can be used in some applications also.

Thanks for the reply, when I drop my 4 link axle out my car I want to replace all the rod/eye bushes.
As I dont know what bushes will fit it will be better to DIY.

As it's a common car, I'd be amazed if they weren't a easily available item.

Also try www.grommets.co.uk if you need a few. Only some sizes available in PU / neoprene from stock though.
