A couple years ago I put a tubular F-car front sway bar on my '69. I've been using the stock rubber bushings, and now I'd like to put poly bushing up front. The bar is 1.185" (OD), but before I spend the money on new bushings I remembered I have a set of 1.25" poly bushings from years ago when I tried out a boat anchor weight 1.25" bar (I tried the soft spring/big bar combo and didn't like it at all). I thought about modifying the poly mounts by slicing out a section at the parting line, but am concerned that it won't fit straight into the mounting brackets again. So while I'm working on that possibility I was also thinking about just shimming the ID of the bushing. A 1.185 OD bar in a 1.25" ID hole would leave .065" slop. I was wondering if I found some (brass?) shim stock (.o32"-.035") and placed it in there would that work (assuming I greased the bar interface)?
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
