[Closed] Where to get non standard shock bushes?

I know of BETD. anywhere else?

it's for a DT shock which has clever swivel type bushes, but this seems at the expense of durability; they develop play really quickly. or at least the lower one does.

i did have a roller bearing one once, till someone lost all the rollers for me.ย  i liked the idea but not sure i could really notice the difference.

so anyway. any suggestions?

I think TFTuned has what you are after....

I've used their heavy duty shock hardware before on Maestro suspension with good success.

thanks smashit, but those are just standard DT parts. i've already replace a set of them and they lasted a couple of months. i was hoping to get heavier duty stuff without the spherical bearing bit as seems to prone to wear

but they do say somewhere that they can do non-standard for 20 quid right enough.

so there we go.

and Betd are 24 quid

ah, but looks like for both, the polymer bush parts are standard, so that would be my problem as the hole in the shock body of the DT is 16.1ish mm. looks like i might have to put up with it then...
