Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Fiero / July 20061988 Headlight motor bushing size
Where I work we have a lot of Delrin scrap and one of my headlight motor started to die today. I hate to buy Delrin bushing when we trash Delrin everyday. What size (diameter and length) are the bushing in the motors?  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Wanna go even cheaper? (yeah yeah, they're free for *you* but....) Take a large glue gun stick and slice it up - they're just about the right size, and material! :) Thickness? As long as they don't stick up above the edges.... > Where I work we have a lot of Delrin scrap and one of my headlight > motor started to die today.

I found some on Ebay and was going to buy them Sunday night if I didn't find out what size they were. If I did find out what size to make the bushing then I was going to take the headlight apart on Sunday and make the Bushing Monday and get it fix fast. Yes, I am cheap, this is a 18 year old Fiero not a Corvette, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ford GT, or Pantera. >Wanna go even cheaper?

I wish you hadn't used the "...." the way I took it the first time I read the message it sounded like you was calling me cheap. But after reading the message several times, I can see where you was going with this. >>Wanna go even cheaper? (yeah yeah, they're free for *you* but....) Nope - wasn't calling _you_ cheap! :) Heck - we're all Fiero owners here - we know what we are. ;) It was more a message to all on how to do it on the 'inexpensive' side. >I wish you hadn't used the "...." the way I took it the first time I > read the message it sounded like you was calling me cheap.

I bought them from the Fiero Store when I fixed mine, they were pretty "cheap" heh. -- From the rocky shores of the Skykomish river David Bosworth http://www.premier1.net/~daveb/hovercrafts.html > Where I work we have a lot of Delrin scrap and one of my headlight > motor started to die today.

All the scrap Delrin sitting around at work too small for what we need it for but large enough to make the bushing out of. It like finding a nice piece of Oak wood, I have to make something out of it, when most other people would just pitch it. >I bought them from the Fiero Store when I fixed mine, they were pretty >"cheap" heh. |
