Title: What FT do these fit?
Post by: Dub on June 27, 2023, 10:46:12 am
Neoprene bushings that go on the engine room hatch but there is nothing on my hatch similar. I bought them from a member, don't remember who and it really doesn't matter because it was my mistake. I'll try to post a picture but that could go either way.

On our 96 models they are made of different material but they should work the same.

Replaced red round bushings on generator and engine covers (https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=46105.0)

They are not on the hatch, they are mounted on brackets attached to the frame that the hatch latches onto.  If your hatch is really loose when it's closed, they may have deteriorated to the point that they fell off?

There are the bushings that the bottom of your engine back cover latches on.

Found them and they are worn pretty bad. Good thing I have some replacements after all. Thanks

My engine hatch was rattling during high desert winds. New bushings put an end to that. Originals were red, you've got a nice alternative.

Mine aren't giving me an issue but they do have a pretty good grove. Ive had these bushings for several years and bought them because I knew whatever they are I would one day need them  as my "components" seem to be aging out on me. I would get a coleman tent to camp in but I fear I would never get up from the bed on the ground. :))

Dub, check up front too, you probably have the same type set up on your generator hatch. If they are worn, you may be getting a little rattle from the cover. Thats probably why you have 4, 2 for the front, 2 for the rear.

Dang Dub, I was fixing on giving you a call and buying those from you!  lol. Mine are looking pretty sickly!  Glad you figured them out and you need them.  Understand about old age, when I was young and I dropped something, I just reached down and picked it up.  Now, I think about it and decide do I really need that item!

I can't remember the name but he said they will never ware out. He said the ferries use
it for wearing when they come in to dock.

Mine are black bolted to black framing is why It took me a while to find them. I can hear like a k9 but visual focus is not like before.
