What is the O.D. of the upper shackle bushing in a Rambler American 1968 2door HT ?

I don't think anyone is being unfriendly with information here.
Most would just order a new set and never measure. I made a few for my 69 Javelin out of UHMW, made drawings at the time but never kept them. These were based on were they were going to fit and not off original bushing dimensions. You may have to order a set to make measurements.

As Lyle said...
I looked up your web page -- "server not found". A Google search yielded a facebook page for "RBJ Racing Moto Repair Shop" Macalma brothers... is that you? |

I have a 68 American with the original shackles intact. I am sure the bushings are originals as well, maybe shriveled somewhat. Specifically, what measurements do you need? I will be happy to get underneath and measure for you.

I need a measurement of the O.D. of the leaf spring upper shackle bushing the one that attaches to the frame with a bolt through bolt.
Reason for me not ordering a set and measuring my self is that I live in Iceland and it takes around 2 weeks to get the bushings here for me to measure. |

It'll be interesting what Matt finds. The bushings are allegedly the same OD as a '70 AMX at 0.94" but longer. My plan was to buy the AMX bushings and shorten them as required. We'll see if that plan has 'substance'.

Sorry for the delay. I could not make out the O.D. of the shackle bushings while still on the car. I have a box of extra Prothane replacement bushings in my garage somewhere. I will search for and measure those.
