I wonder what Dorman would charge to tool up and supply the real bronze SAE oilite machined pilot bushing in the quantities we consume?


I couldn't agree more Larry. I think getting the part from Marlin is a great idea because he supports the hobby and does GREAT work.

My only issue is the scare tactic that some people use. Some folks are always doom and gloom on some subjects without any backup of what they claim to be a huge issue.

I say buy from Marlin because he supports us and make a great product, not because the less expensive parts are going to cause thousands of dollars of damage to our input shafts because that, in my opinion, is hogwash. Now this is the point where someone is going to say they saw it way back when... I get it, maybe someone experienced some issue with a non pure bearing but I still don't think there is much risk. Just my opinion...

But again, buy it from Marlin because he is a great guy supplying great parts. That alone is worth the extra money his part may cost.

Scott
Hello Scott; I agree Wholeheartedly in regards to supporting those that use their collective skills & knowledge to machine/manufacturer/produce well designed parts & upgrades for our cars.
But there will ALWAYS be those that are "A penny wise, a pound foolish", I now have to go study how to properly read a micrometer. ( insert smiley face)...Mark
