Part Search - Bottom Bushings

[Alphawray]

I'm searching for a supplier for the bottom bushings for the deck lid cylinders for my '62 Convertible. Anyone have any ideas?

You may need to find a generic bushing based on size, then order from there or a place that sells from that manufacturer. Here's a generic chart that I found.

Thank you so much for your help finding that bushing link.

I went the Macgyver route. I used 1/2" OD fuel hose. Cut it flush with the body of the cylinder. Had to drill it out to insert the original steel sleeves from either side. Then used 2-1/16" nylon washers on both sides to fill to the mounting brackets.

Nice work.

Curious, where did you get that deck lid cylinder diagram. I can’t find that anywhere. (I’ve looked in the shop manual and both electrical and body assembly manuals. Thx!
