[Shotimes] Delrin or alum?

[Ron Porter]

More recently, I had installed the Police strut mounts on the '94. Same blue
paint, and no other readily obvious changes from the stock ones that came
out, except the front of the car sat a bit higher than with the old mounts.
Probably not to surprising, since the old mounts had 180K+ on them.

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.

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