UUC Delrin front shifting arm "round" bushings: heads up

[RonStygar@xxxxxxx]

  Although earlier noticed installing the UUC bushings on a short shift I was 
doing, I assumed it was an outlier.  One of one.  We did not install them.  
As of today it is three of three.
  If you choose to install the UUC Delrin bushings in the front of your car's 
shifting arm, you may want to measure what you receive, before taking your 
car apart.  Their bushings are ~.010" out of spec. on the O.D. and I.D. on 
the round ones I have in hand.  They claim .001" at their web site.
  Since there purpose is to eliminate slop and long term wear, installing the 
UUC ones are worse than a worn out stock one.

 and check out boyz4,4a and 4b.jpg for a dimensioned look see of the in hand 
bushings and application.
  My machinist is making me some properly dimensioned round ones for my cars. 
 
  Will let you know how their oval ones measure up.  I hope that they are 
right, since my machinist refuses to make them because of his difficulty 
doing so.
  The M3 and my Z3 M coupe uses the oval like ones.
