The Morse ones are a good fit into the rear but can still fall out. I guess you could install them then RTV them in place for next time because you know there will be a next time
I have a set of the Morse ones that I have not installed yet, are you saying that after they are installed, they might fall out? or while you are trying to put them in?
are they loose after you install them?

I had a set of his bushings, and they were a excellent fit. The rear bushings are not intended to be pressed in like the fronts are, so they can come out when you remove the cradle. They will not move whatsoever when installed with the cradle.

I was talking about whilst you were bolting the cradle up to the frame. Until you get the bolts in, the bottom part can fall out and the RTV just helps hold them in place until you get the bolts in. Otherwise they are excellent. Sorry for any confusion.
More sets will be available soon! Due to competition they will be redesigned to eliminate any similarities.
Just to clarify, are you referring to the cradle bushings?
Whenever you do have some cradle bushings available, I'd like a set sent up the road from you to my US shipping address in Blaine 98230. Just let me know. Thanks.

There just seems to be an amzing similarity between the sets I have made before, and a very popular forum member's who will also be selling some in the future. My redesign will be mostly cosmetic with a few tolerances tightened up.
I didnt know it was an issue if the rear bushings didnt fit snug in the rear frame. I made them a loose fit to the frame so the cradle can be installed a bit easier. After seeing it as an issue from a forum member's writeup, I will change them so they will fit snug.
I wont disclose any names because I am not into bashing, but if you do a search you will surely find.....

Yeah, it wasn't too difficult.
However, I don't understand how you can be pressured to change your design by someone who hasn't even officially released their own version of these bushings yet...
Oh well, if it eventually leads to a slightly improved version offered by you, all the better. Competition can be good.

I dont really feel pressured, I just like my stuff to be distinctively different. When installed his and mine appear the same. Plus I do my own machining, so it is nothing for me to make changes to the design.
You will have to stay tuned.
