I removed the old bushings and threw all the old rotted and  rusted stuff away..
got all the A-arm parts powder coated..
the new poly bushings came..
but it says to reuse the shells and sleeves that were rusted/rotted and worthless..

now what..?
I was surprised that these were not part of the kit..
I haven't located "any" of these parts as yet..

Thanks Ahead for any help..

Matt,

Unfortunately Matt we do not manufacture the sleeves for that application.  I immensely dislike having to send you else where for components like this but in this unique situation I hope you understand that I have no other alternative.  Please check RockAuto.com, I buy a lot of small parts from them for my personal projects and they have a wide selection of manufactures to choose from.  The dealer would be my last choice considering the price point. 

I wish I could be of more assistance for you on this, if you need to speak with someone directly about this matter please call 949.361.3935

WOW..!
I can't buy just the hardware..the bushing is sold as an assembly..
as it should be..hint..hint..
so now I have to spend $100 bucks for stock bushings..in order
to use the hardware that comes with them..

your product "was" a good idea..but now that these cars are getting some age on them..
this hardware you guys require to "reuse" is not going to be reusable from decay/rust..

I have 2 more cars to do..I'll be going with something else..
maybe even rodends..

very disappointed in INDY..!

Matt,

I do share your same frustration with lacking the necessary components to complete the project.  I would also like to see the hardware and bushings together as an assembly.  In the future please call us and let us know what kit your interested in purchasing and we will be more than happy to give you an itemized list of what's inclusive for the given part #, giving us an opportunity to help avoid any buyers remorse.

Thank you,

Jeff
