Starmate Bushing System?

Not sure what you are referring to. Are you talking about washers or the pivot bolt?
 
Kmj - I've noticed some folks calling the washers bushings. I guess it is another term for the same thing, but the pivot bolt assmebly is also called bushing, for example the Manix2, Para2.

Thank you for doing that, I got shipping confirmation on mine today and was also curious about the innards. :thumbup:
 
A more accurate term in my opinion for the pivots in the Manix/para would be a stepped pivot.
 
I got mine and it's perfect.i think they used the same maker as the Caly and Persians. Fit and finish is off the chain.
Thank you Sal & Eric for bringing this one back.

Nope...just common ignorance. If you know the true meaning of that word it's not an insult. It just means a person not educated on certain things.

Know what BOBCAT heavy equipment is? It's not the little machine. The little machines that everyone calls a bobcat...is actually a Skid-Steer.

What do you blow your nose with? Kleenex or facial tissue? Kleenex is just a brand too. It's just so common for the average Joe to hear these terms and by being ignorant they don't know the true meaning.

Anyway...

washer [wosh-er, waw-sher]

—noun

1. a person or thing that washes. 2. washing machine. 3. a flat ring or perforated piece of leather, rubber, metal, etc., used to give tightness to a joint, to prevent leakage, to distribute pressure, etc., as under the head of a nut or bolt.


bushing [boo sh-ing]

—noun

1. Elect. a lining for a hole, intended to insulate and protect from abrasion one or more conductors that pass through it. 2. Mach. a. a replaceable thin tube or sleeve, usually of bronze, mounted in a case or housing as a bearing. b. a replaceable hardened steel tube used as a guide for various tools or parts, as a drill or valve rod.


So again. Being ignorant is just having a common misconception about something. Not an insult.
 
I am a gearhead before a knifenut. My brain must have been in jeep mode when posting the question. I knew there was another word other than "bushing" but I just couldn't think of it. You guys knew what I meant anyway...sorta
 
They might not be teflon. BobT is a big believer in nylatron washers for his customs.
