Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone has any of the delrin bushings for repairing the headlights they could measure up for me, I live in Canada and its really expensive to have these shipped over from USA.
I can get a piece of delrin and machine it down, I just need the correct dimensions for it.

Any help would be appreciated.. I have read a few older posts and got mixed sizes, anywhere from 7/16" to roughly 1/2".. What is the bore size and the O.D? and.. its for an '88

I ordered some from ebay very cheap (into canada). Still in a package and can measure them, but they are not hollow, not sure we're talking the same part? These are the 3 plastic pucks in the headlight drive that break down and stop the up/down?

The solid delrin bushings measure
.421 inches in diameter and .453 inches long.

mine were .437 in dia. and .455 long.
they do not need a hole in them.
glad to see another person with some machining knowledge on here.

If you have an advance Auto parts or similar they have them in the HELP section

FORD uses them in their older window motors.

I used to use ball bearings for the older ford window motors,I guess they could damage the gears,I would stick with delrin

This is what I use.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you can't use anything that say's it's for a FORD

no just kidding if there 7/16 by .455 plus or minus .010 long they will work.
