**** New Replacement Headlight Lift Arm Bushings *****
Hi All, great to see there is some interest in these.
These are still a very new product for me and in time the price will drop but I need to sell quite a few set just to recover design and manufacturing setup costs.
Currently Black Dragon lists one "long" rod at $44.95 ea. (2 req)
Blackdragonauto.com
Online catalog page 134
Part number 80-701
The "short" rod is a different design.
I have priced them at $30 for a set of 4 bushings. Or I could do $40 for a set of 6 allowing you to do the short wiper linkage also.
Black Dragon doesn't sell the "short" wiper linkage but sells the complete linkage mech for $169.95!!!!!!!!!!!
As the bushings aren't big or heavy it appears $5 will get a set anywhere in the world.
Thanks Rodger

Tried this on my daily driver with 5/8 ID neoprene grommets from home depot and a little lithium grease. I must say, it is a genius idea and an easy low budget fix. They fit perfectly and have been working fine for weeks. Ill be back in a year for updates.

YES YES YES. They do fit the wiper linkage also
I can do sets of 6, 4 headlight and 2 wiper if people are interested.
Postage on just 2 bushes would be the same as 6 and could be prohibitive.
Just trying to get a straight answer from New Zealand Post, why I can't send them in a envelope as a "letter" to keep shipping costs down.
