[T3] T3 Front end bushings

[Keith Park]

Yes, I think I still have some new ones.  I remember back in the 80's buying
new ones for my '73 right from the dealer, on the inside they have a thin
coating of Teflon. I usually have my box of Front end parts at the
invasions, Ill see if I can take a good picture of it if I can get at it,
stuff is wedged into the garage now for the winter and I can only get at a
portion of the far wall till spring.

Do you have new bushings, Keith? I've never seen one and none of the 
old bushings I have removed from old beams show any signs of Teflon. 
They're just silver colored, like rod bearings, but full circle.

If you've got new ones, bring one to the next invasion and I'll bring 
one of mine, so we can compare.
