Engine bay door bushings

Did a search on the forum and nothing came up for these rubber bushings that the engine bay door rests on.

Anyone ever replace these and have a part number? Trying to save pulling them off and trying to match them up so where.

Thanks

The posts a while ago was talking on making them and I was going to get my Cousin to make me
some but mine were OK so I haven't bothered yet. Maybe this summer.

Quick fix is to take the bushing off and flip it end to end. Let's the bracket ride in a new spot till you can replace them

I had made a bunch before but currently the lathe tail stock is damaged and was going to repair after the Bronco is done. Can't drill the center  hole in them

Thanks Scott,

If you remember, let me know if you get the lathe fixed and make some more...I'll definitely buy a couple from you, if I don't find something else first. They don't seem to be falling apart and I can do what Townrestor suggested and flip them around for now.

If you need them right away, call Visone in KY, which is a salvage yard and see if they have some and they will take them off a wreck Foretravel they have there.  Just a thought!

So pulled the tail stock off last night and will press out damaged bronze threaded insert and order the new one. Should be back in business in a couple weeks. When I get it up and running I'll get you to order some stock from McMaster I think. Will have to go back and find the link. There is two different diameters also FWIW

Dylan. I think I was the one a few years ago that posted about making new ones from stock material. There are a few members that followed suit when they needed them. There has to be a history in postings on material and sizes.

Thanks Scott,

So are the 2 different diameters referring to the engine door vs the genny door?

Scott,
Just bought an extra pair from Elliot but will still want to replace genny rollers also...not sure if they're different, will have to go measure when I get a chance.
