Metalastik/Silentbloc imperial bushes?

[Steve_D]

Hi
Does anyone know a source for Metalastik/Silentbloc imperial bushes.
I'm looking for 0.5" I/D, 1.625" O/D, 1.625" wide.
Google searches just find application specific hits none of which include the dimensions.

Cheers
Steve

Is that an American term or something ?

Or is it just like a Poly bush ?

Almost sure the likes of Superflex or Powerflex sell nylon blanks that can be machined, or I'm sure they can do it themselves.

No just 2 trade names for your traditional suspension type bush with a steel inner and steel outer bonded together with rubber. Basically the type you would bin to replace with a polybush.

Is there a specific bush design you need, specific fitment ?

Or a fairly universal looking bush ?

ie could you use a modern metric one and sleeve it imperial ?

Or source from the US, where they're still largely stuck with imperial fittings.
