    I sent Lencas a PM about the issue. I would like to keep this thread alive pending his resolve. There is apparently someone else who had issues as well with the 75sh bushings and he did not refund his money. All I want is my money back for the bushings. If that can't be done, then I will no longer support his products and will make sure everyone, on this and other forums, know his character.

        One of my AKG's had to be persuaded a little to go on. The others fits perfect with no issues.

        Their 24v poly swap mounts have issues, however. I feel there isn't enough stud on them to securely fasten the motor mount arm to the motor mount. I have seen quite a few of these and all of them have been like this. So far no issue with it backing off, just get worried that it will at one point. just an fyi

              Im just about fed up. Now the akg's won't go in. I even used silicone grease, my press, drilled air pressure release holes and installed exactly the way the pictures show on the website. I managed to get ONE of four in properly. I'm about to fucking lose it...

                  even the washer I'm using is perfectly sized to fit over the shank.

                    I hate to break it to you, but its you not the bushings. This is not rocket science.

                          I would push the bushes in first and then insert the center sleeve.

                                your photo shows all thread between the bushings. I used a 10or12 mm bolt fine thread w/ hardened washers w/ anti seize heavy nut, cranked them in . ea arm independently. the rod pushing on the other bushing can cause misalignment of the bushing and can distort /spread the arms if too much pressure is appled.
