SceneOne, what file format do you need?
I still have the 3d model with proper hole dimensions I made for this project.
My depths are a bit closer to the original part dimensions, but you can adjust that as you prefer to more closely match pit crews version.

The software I use, which is Aspire, is able to import vectors from files with any of the following file extention: .crv, .dxf, .eps, .crv3d, .pdf, .ai Or just give us dimensions and we will be good, it looks easy enough to draw and my son is very fast and good with all the programs. I showed him a picture of it today and he says it will be easy to do.

                             Thanks B.

I looked up Aspire and I bet just pics with dimensions would be easiest.
Check your private mail for a couple of drop box links to pics.

Is it someone that can share the dimensions of the bushing,
I would like to try making a printout on my 3D printer at work,
I will create a model and can share the 3d printer ".stl" file here if the function will be acceptable.

Ok we finally got a break with the CNC to mill up a couple of bushings. My son and I decide to cut them in foam first to resolve any issues that came up to start with. In doing so we found that there was also play where it was riveted onto the bracket so to help solve this we made it fit perfectly into the recess so there would be no movement at all. I had in my shop a piece of delrin from a past project that was    1 3/4" thick enough to make a couple pieces up. After our foam test cuts we made a few adjustments and cut a pair but found out that they were to tall when I went to assemble for the curve of the rod. So I reduced the length to overall 1 1/4". I also found that the metal rod they slid on seemed uneven so I sanded it with a random orbital sander and then polished on a wire wheel and it was much improved. We also came up with a new design for the wear bushings such that they snap in place very easily. After which I installed them in my car and they worked fantastic with just a slight movement in the window after installed 100% better. It also seemed easier to adjust the window alignment unless it is just all the practice I am getting. check out the photos and feel free to offer suggestions. If everyone is happy I can mill some up.
