Hello again everyone.
I am sorry for the long delay, life has been crazy and my printer decided it needed a major tune up before working properly.
Its working better than ever and the headlight bushings look great and function great.
They are back up for sale on ebay. As usual, no link can be provided, but you can search my seller name kutukutu1 or search 1st gen RX7 headlight bushings.
Thank you all for the continued support.
P.S, those that have messaged me for door pull cups, i promise i am working to make these soon. I have you all on the list and will PM you as soon as i have a set ready for you.

Hello again,
The inevitable has happened. The stock of the current bushing material has been depleted. I have found a possible replacement that i believe should be an improvement on the bushing with a tighter fit around the ball joint, will not crack in tension or compression. You can hit them with a hammer and nothing will happen to them. They also will have lower friction as well. The material is TPU, which is similar to what shopping cart tires are made of. Strong, durable and also flexible. Only downside is the cost/kg of material, which is more expensive than the last. i plan on providing 5 or 10 sets at the current cost of $15 once i feel they have been refined enough with the new material for some feedback on it and then will begin selling them at about $17.
Thank you all again, i will post back as soon as i have it all done with pictures and general assessment of the material.
