Updated Delrin Idler Arm Bushings 1800

posted by  someone claiming to be cameron on  Thu Feb 3 16:53 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Now that I think about it, my question is kind of moot. The later style idler arm is easily retrofitted to an early style car - so the delrin component, if made for the later style, would easily adapt to an older car. As long as the installer had the proper idler arm in which to fit the delrin.

I guess that'd be the thing to mention to anyone buying one. And I really can't imagine that there'd be a market for delrin replacements for the brass internals in the early arms... hmmm...

The earlier idler arms that I'm familiar with (122; I'd think that 1800 and maybe '62 and later PV would be the same) have lots more parts inside. Two bushings, two spacer-washer-doodads, two rubber seals.

They're easily identified - if the idler arm assembly has a grease fitting, it's the early kind. If not, it's the later kind.

Cool idea, this.

Best,
