I am looking for bushing, varying in sizes but mainly I need a 1" OD Flanged bushing with a 1/2" ID. Can anyone give me some links of some suppliers. Many thanks

Apparently on some other sites, people have said that they aren't wanting to do business with Canadian destinations. Something to do with the exporting regulations and associated hassles.
I'm totally sure though, just saw a number of big complaints.

I recently sent some used VW engine accessories to a friend in Quebec. It was a huge PITA to find the right forms, fill out the right forms, pay outrageous freight and customs fee (tax). It is BS as far as I'm concerned. If I were a vendor in the US, I would refuse to send to Canada unless the customer wanted to pay all the fees and for my time to mess with this corrupted system. At that point it would be cheaper for the Canadians to buy elsewhere. It is much easier and cheaper to send to the US from Canada. Not sure which government is causing the problem.

From what I understand(limited in that) Its the US gov wanting to limit export and import to keep things more "american". Granted that is a good strategy, but it really effects the rest of the world when things outside are needing the things from within. Kinda almost encourages smuggling in various things not necessarily "illegal".

lol yeah no kidding, managed to find the bushings though, kinda an odd size lol

Would having the parts shipped to a forum member closest to you in the US then having him send them to you work?
You'd pay shipping twice though.

yeah possibly, they may ship right to me though, still have to see.
