Hood hinge bushings

[timmil]

Does anyone have the specs for the little brass bushings used on the hood hinge assembly? Seems that some of mine have gone missing since the hood was removed when I pulled the motor and we have had a bear of a time with the hood.

Thanks!

I remember an old thread on the other Forum that gave part numbers for close tolerance replacement bushings. I think they were from McMaster Carr. Ralph

I thought the hood hinge bushings were oil impregnated bronze bushings.. Might want to call FFR to confirm. I think plain brass would wear pretty quick.

They are indeed "oilite" bushings and McMaster carries them in standard and high tolerance versions. Some have used the high tolerance replacements to fix door hing slop.
