I think it's 8.3128. I can verify when I get home if your want.

 

How you been dude?

 

Sweet you? Are these to upgrade the crappy OEM bushings?

 

Doing well thanks! And yes they are the poly ones that replace the shit ones.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm might jump on these, but if someone grabs em not a biggie. GLWS

 

Thanks! Let me know if you want em.

 

What's entailed in the install do you know? As I would obviously be paying to have it done

 

Take off LCAs, remove old bushings, insert new bushings, get alignment. That's over simplified of course but its fairly straightforward. The biggest PIA is getting the old ones out. Heat and a press, or makeshift press, are your friends here. Nothing a shop shouldn't be able to handle.

 

Why are you not gonna use them brother?

 

You have to burn out the old oem bushings and keep the outer sleeve from the oem bushings in the LCA for these to work.

 

I got them for when I did my LCA TC cam tabs but we were in a little bit of a hurry at the time so I didn't get around to doing them.

 

Install instructions, FYI:

 

Holy Fuck

 

Yeah, it's not for the faint of heart, but it's not impossible. Might help OP make his sale too. I know a couple guys with an extra set of stock LCAs laying around that might be interested.

 

You the man!

The paper copy will ship with them.

 

I've done mine. Thinking of picking these up for my backup pair.

First-hand info on the install:
You'll need a shop press and assorted spacers/sleeves. If you're in South OC SoCal, you can use mine. Pressing them out isn't hard.
Once out, you heat the whole bushing up until the rubber softens enough to separate from the metal pieces -- this pretty much means you burn the rubber off. Propane torch will take a week, use MAPP or acetylene.
Cool, clean the metal. Lube the new poly bushings and press them into the metal pieces, then press the new assembly into the LCAs (MUCH easier assembly then disassembly).
The whole process *sounds* more terrifying than it actually is. In reality, it's boring as hell, waiting for the rubber to burn enough.
