Default Front Spring Bushing

I'm putting a reversed eye front spring on my 28 RPU. I'm keeping everything else stock, perch's etc. My problem is the bushing on my stock spring shackle is a smaller diameter than to the eye of the spring. The bushing OD is .69 and the eye of the spring is .78. I trying to find a bushing with a .78 OD and a .56 ID. Anybody else use a reverse eye front spring and run into this?

Anyone with a lathe can make you one from Delrin in 5 minutes.

Sounds like you may have run into the same issue I had with mine. Order in a set of rear spring bushings and cut them down to fit.
