Title: Wrecked my '16 V7 Racer - can't find bushing anywhere
Post by: huck_finn on February 14, 2023, 04:52:02 PM: I wrecked my '16 V7 Racer back in November and have been struggling to find all the parts I need. The last piece I am missing is a bushing on the rear master cylinder parts fiche (part number 886666).

I was told by the dealer I have been going through that the part is no longer in production, and the closest one I could find on ebay was overseas and pretty pricey. I would have to fork out close to $200 for a $25 part.

I don't have a problem making the part myself, but I can't find specs on it anywhere. Would anybody on here happen to have one they could get some dimensions on?

Below are a few pictures of the part I pulled from the ebay listing.

Looked it up, same part all the way back to 2011, so any racer will do.

Post by: huck_finn on February 15, 2023, 12:14:21 PM: Fox doesn't have it in stock, Harper (who I originally ordered from) told me that MG said the part is no longer in production, and I am waiting to hear back from Cadre.

For some reason, the Teo Lamers site won't open in my office - so I will try them when I get to the house tonight.

Thanks for the replies!

Plus 30 Euros shipping IIRC.

Post by: huck_finn on February 16, 2023, 08:07:16 AM: Turns out there was one tucked away in a warehouse somewhere - Harper Moto should have it sent my way next week. But as soon as I get it, I am going to build it out in Fusion 360...just in case I need to have one made in the future.
