[Shotimes] Delrin or alum?

[Donald Mallinson]

Alan,

I also inspected them, poked them and prodded them.  Yes, it 
is possible that the rubber was different, but if it was 
much different, I would have been able to tell without the 
help of a durometer or other instrument.

The molding marks, part number, size, shape, feel, weight, 
thickness of metal and apparent firmness of the rubber parts 
were EXACTLY the same.

Ron Porter, I think, also inspected this set of bushings and 
I believe he concurs that they were identical except for the 
blue paint.

Don Mallinson
got to remember that people take everything "literal" most 
of the time!  :)
