Thanks Stefan very good copy is it not possible to make them in red as per the originals ?

I think that PTFE (Teflon) is ideal for this purpose and I haven't seen it available in red. Since this part of the bus is not normally visible I don't think its color matters much to most people.

Hi Stefan

Hi all,

Sorry I have been quiet for a few weeks. Very busy with lost of other things (about to move house). Today I have been to the company which made the first few plugs and ordered 100 of them. They are busy so it will be two or three weeks before they are ready. My cost will be 2 Euros 15 cent per piece and I will pass them on at cost plus shipping.

On request of a fellow forum members I have also asked them to make some front shift rod bush prototypes form Teflon.

Update: Finally received the teflon plugs but they didn't make 100 as per my order but only 53... The price went up from 2.15 Euros plus tax to 2.49 plus tax so I'll sell them at cost at 3 Euros/piece plus shipping. Personal message please with desired amount and shipping address please. Will respond with PayPal address and exact price. Allow two weeks or so for delivery please.

I dont need a steering box cap, but would be interested in a teflon front shift rod bush. That sound like a really great idea as the aftermarket plastic ones are poor quality. Have you got any of these I could buy from you or the maker?

thanks

Hi Stefan just to say my caps arrived today many thanks so well made and a good replacement part.
Cheers Adi

I've got a teflon font shift rod bush prototype which I could send you Bluesnailman. Had five made a while ago. Haven't tested them yet, though. PM me your address and I'll send one. I think I paid 6 Euros a piece. Price would go down if produced in larger numbers. However, I am not currently planning to have any any more done.

Adi, thanks for your nice feedback. Much appreciated.

Stefan
