Tapered bushes needed
I'm after a set of bushes to suit the mini/metro ball joint for my Sprite's wishbones. Only thing is, either no-one makes such a thing
(which is no massive surprise) or my Google skills are rubbish.
So can anyone point me in the direction of either someone who stocks or can machine a weldable steel bush for me? It needs an OD of roughly
1.5", 3/4"-1" thickness and a 1.5" in 1' (7 degree?) taper in the centre?
Or am I better of getting some steel plate/bar and a reamer?

Is it 7 degrees? I used a metro cab ball joint, thought it was 1-10 by measurment, so milled an insert that size, only to discover it was 5
degrees.
It is larger than a metro ball joint but would have thought the tapers would be the same?
Also be sure to specify exactly angle or incline, tapers need to be exact to work.

There's two sizes of Metro ball joint, with the ones I need being the 1.5" in 1' size. I think it works out to be just over 7
degrees as it's an imperial measurement. I can happily supply anyone able to do this with a joint to measure to ensure it's correct.
