Bill -

I purchased the Revington TR bushing for my TR3 steering column.  It 
was 17.54 shipped (in late 2001).  Regrettably, I have not driven 
with it yet, but it seemed like a quality piece of merchandise and 
was easy to install.  Definitely an improvement over the felt, IMHO.

If I'd been thinking I would have ordered a half dozen, as shipping 
would have cost about the same - it weighs next to nothing!  Then I 
could have sent them out to folks like you as needed.

Oh well.  Live and learn.


Anyway - I would recommend the Revington item.  Seems like they got 
it to me pretty quickly.

Dan
