They have aluminum ones. Im sure if you call USLC they have them, not on their online look-up though.
There was talk last year about allowing rubber, but I dont know if anything ever happened with that

Yes, if I were installing new bushings I would use the new blue rubber bushing now available. This takes the rigidity out of the motor and reduces harmonic vibration that is causing some of the issues out there.

Glad they are available...I would love some rubber bushings from you Dennis, but was told today that I can only order parts from the dealer that is in my territory, which would be in Iowa, as we don't have one in Wisconsin, the 3rd largest Legends dirt racing state in the Nation. Can you shed some light on this new policy? i left Mr Chapman a message, but he hasn't called me back

So if I read what you were saying Jim is, we can only order parts from our dealer now? Not US Legends?

All I know, is that the dealer that I chose to order parts from at this time was called by USLC and told that he could not sell me parts, that I have to buy them from the dealer in Iowa, the dealer that has my territory.

I buy from different dealers and have chosen not to buy from the guy in my area. Last time I checked you should be able to buy from who you want to. That sounds like your local guy has gone to USLC and bitched.

Wow, he must really have lots of time on his hands to monitor where parts are purchased from in another state.
So, it is just I that is forced to buy from the dealer in Iowa? that doesn't sound right to me...still haven't heard back from GE Chapman about the situation.
I better not go to Wal-Mart in West Bend tomorrow, since I live in the Germantown Wal-Mart territory

Jim,

just call your dealer of choice and order. As long as they have the items in stock, no one cares where it is bought from. If the dealer is drop shipping to you, then it might be an issue, because USLC would see it is being shipped out of the correct territory.

Sorry, have not been online> i will sell anybody anything anytime   PERIOD!!!!!! Frankly i used to honor thie policy, unti i figured out every other dealer did the same!!! Besides that anyone can call USLC and order anything anywhere. I often offer dicsounts too!!! Go to E-Bay and look around, dealers are selling there. Any time anyone wants an item call me, I will sell it!!!!!!!!
