Geezer-X,
Regarding bushings.
Back in the day I used Bennetts, killer red bushings, then moved on to Trackers and used the stock bushings, then Sixtrack Magnesiums, used Clouds for the first generation and now I use Stimulators for my pool boards now with Tracker 6 mags.
I'm particular about bushings, I need them to turn turn turn.
In my experiences with slalom truck bushings, as a small pivot Tracker fool fan, I use the TK-05 bottom and Bones Hard Core blue top. For TTC I use the black bottom and white top HG has suggested and supplied. For Seismic I don't. For my kids Indy 101mm slalom trucks I use single hole laboratory stoppers cut down.
Like I said, I'm a bit paculiar/paticular about bushings.
My question to you.
I just bought a set of 129mm Tracker RTS/X and need some bushing help. I'm sure I can find something in my skatebox yet I have heard that you offer the werks on bushings that work particularly well for RTS/X set up.
I'm 200lbs, can you help? Front truck a bit looser than the back, no angles, you know the drill.
Best to you and "thank you" for your response and the machine werk offerings.

The most popular thing I see, which works really well, are Tracker Stimulators, which are readily available from several suppliers. Put the bushing on a 3/8" bolt in a drill, and use a file or 80 grit abrasive to turn the big shoulder off the outside. Either use 2 fullsize bushings and a longer kingpin, or shorten the top one and make it conical. Or, just use them between the baseplate and hanger, with bones blues on the outside.

G,
My appologies for being so wordy.
Can you provide this service to me?
Do I need to send the bushings to you or can I just buy them and have them sent to you and then you send them to me.
At one point I had time and even enjoyed fabricating my own designs, as I grow older, I don't mind using specialists to help me get to where I want to go.
I could lathe wheels and I could turn bushings but I would like to know if you do this sort of thing as a service.
Thanks again. (and again)
