Title: bushings for vanilla RC
Post by: Phillip on April 23, 2003, 01:35:55 pm: What are the bushing dimensions for a Vanilla RC to mount on a Evo frame? Are they available from Fox or do they have to be custom mfg? Thanks for any suggestions.

If they don't have the exact width, you can buy wider bushings and grind them down to size. For my Disco Monkey they had the exact size for the lower mount, and I had to do some grinding to fit the upper bushings. Very easy to do.

Fox phone is 800-369-7469. Their service is quite fast. I got my bushings in a few days.

what about couple washers, or would .1of mm would make any difference, its so thin that it should work without problem. What you think guys?

By the way how much fox bushings cost?

Thanks.
