Shifter Saddle Bushing

Had to build Shifter Saddle Bushing for replica Model A Ford with 1978 Mustang II Driveline. Ford Dealer couldn't get part, and customer needed it overnight for sale of car. It took me 3 hours to make $12 part. Got it done and customer sold car the next day. 2 Happy Customers!!!

Nice work on a fiddly part. Last minute parts always pay well too.

Thanks Tom. Customer is retired marine mechanic, trade this job for triple set of Mitutoyo bore gages. We are both very happy. See comments from Cliff Miller

$325 bushing 🙂 if you need it you need it! I probably would have just welded up the fork on one side and ground it flat and called it good but this is much more professional. I imagine the original piece was plastic to dampen shifter rattle.

Thanks Brian. I enjoyed doing this. Seat of the pants and make it happen.
