Want To Buy: 3.5" Bushings

[unbusted67]

Hey guys I just bought a 1983 CAL 35. I pulled the shaft and rudder off to put in a new cutlass bearing. Not a fun job. In doing this I found that I was missing some bushings (not sure if that is what the are called, they look like washers) on the rudder shaft. They are standard 3.5" Delrin bushings but I can't find them any where. Does anyone know where I can find replacements?

Vesconite Manufacturer Home Page: Low maintenance bushes and bearings

I ordered some shaft bushings for the prop made of vesconite and so far so good.
They are inexpensive.
They can also custom make sizes you want. Just tell them the size and it is very cheap for them to do this.
I had good communication with them when I bought the shaft bushes 4 years ago.

For price example, I seem to recall the bushes were $15 a piece versus $100 for bronze with the rubber liner.
