Have not seen or heard of him for a while. I still have bushings made by him and they work amazingly well for me.
I suggest you do everything possible to find him. Try e-bay as well.

Thanks

I haven't seen him around for a couple years. I was in the process of reproducing them, but my old lathe just doesn't hold the tolerances required to do it. I got a quote from a CNC shop in town but I was gonna have to sell them for around $65-70 to make any money by the time I paid machining and material costs out. Didn't think anyone was really willing to pay that much so I kinda scrapped the idea.

Jim has gone MIA about 2-3 years ago. A shame too. Nice guy and his bushings were the cats meow.

3-4 years ago X system was getting 55$ per set if I recall correctly.
So the price hike, would be well within the realm of inflation these days IMHO.

Billy, the 250R ones were not that bad for a first run. Nothing that a drill bit wouldnt correct. Tripod Troy was running them in Wells on his R.

Anyway, even at 75$ shipped, to me it is still worth buying these if they can be made.
Considering that you will have to spend 59$ for a brand name replacement kit, plus shipping, still with inferior needles that need replaced every year or so, and to replace the TRI-Z stuff with oem needles and all other needed hardware, you are looking at about $130 retail for the stock Z stuff.

I have over 3-4 years on all my Nylon set-ups..

Surely someone in his area has spoken to him or knows if he's still alive or just into other things now.
