      I thought those were only for the larger bushing as well Ryan? Those are the ones I used for my MX-3 arms back in the day....still have 3 bags of them actually!

        Fuuu... My mx3 arms are 36.x mm. Just measured them.

        Jack, The 9108's are for the smaller size, fwd non mx3 arms. Guess I'm gonna have to sell my brand new bushings... If anyone wants them, pm me, I'll get proper pics.

        Ryan, just got your text... I'll call you sometime in the day tomorrow.

            I think the ones I used were the 9.9483 for the MX3 TTL. The supplied center sleeve had to be drilled out, or you could drill the bushing out to accept the OE metal sleeves.

              Yeah, I found those last night James. Looked like they would do the trick, short of that .50 ID sleeve.

                weird, I used the 9108s on my MX-3 arms and it fit like a glove. I wonder if Canadian stuff is different then...hmm...because I have pics and everything haha.

                  Yeah JRally just drilled out the sleeves for me, but in hindsight it may have been better to just find a way to drill the bushing to match the OE sleeves. If I were to do it again I would do that.

                  I think the bushings are just a tiny bit short, so if you cut down the flange some it will be flush in the arm.

                    I'll probably have someone toss the stock sleeves in a lathe, like what Jon Reil did.

                        I have yet to confirm this but I believe if those legitimately fit the bf gtx, then they probably fit the 2wd bg's.

                          I would love to know if that's true with them fitting the BG

                              I have a set of 9.9108's that I am installing in my Escort wagon, I had a machinist friend fab up some custom shells with the O.D. of the ES supplied shell and the I.D. and length of the OEM shell. Now I just need to grind down the bushing to match the shell length. HEre is a link to my build thread http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/show...-BP-Swap-build Click image for larger version
