Jon Thompson - 4 Speed Bushings
« on: July 14, 2009, 11:13:34 PM »
I received my 4 speed bushings today and they look great.

These bushings was a part fabricated for us by Jon because of the scarcity of originals on the market.

Thanks again to Jon for taking on this project and making it happen and a special thanks to all the members supporting the project by fullfilling their promises to purchase them!

Jon - Did you have any extra sets made in case someone missed the call last time around?  If so, please reply with how a member can contact you if needing a set and your asking price.

Chris, Dan , others Thanks!, I have a dozen  or so sets for sale! $18 set before shipping! I  bought some stock to make more if needed at the suggestion of the company that made the bushings because the prices on
materials are not going to go down! The stainless hex stock that we made
lug nuts out of years back is now 4 times the price! I wish I would have bought the stock  a few years ago like I was going to and put it away! If you need bushings or want to talk 65 gs's email gofastgs1965 @AOL.com
thanks Jon. P.S. If you can not drive your gs why have it! I can not wait
to flog the hell out out of my 4spd when it gets back on the road!. But for now I am happy driving my friends cars 65 post skylark, 65 skylark hardtop,65 gs 4spd conversion,66gs.

Just curious, since I have a four speed, which/what bushings are we talking about? I always seems to stockpile parts, so I would be interested if Jon has some left.....
