Default Does this look right? Rack bushings??

So I ordered a set of Battle Version MKIV Supra/ SC300 Delrin Rack Bushings from driftmotion.com http://store.driftmotion.com/static/...ckbushings.php

This is what they sent me.




Does that look right? The picture on their site makes it look like this is a polyurethane bushing kit but it doesn't say either way in the description. They use the same picture on battleversion.com

they are delrin, not polyurethane.
delrin is the material that is used.

That really looks like aluminum, though. Maybe it's the light playing tricks lol.

Derlin is white, IIRC, that looks like aluminum as previously stated.

I've seen Delrin in black before. Those do look like aluminum as stated earlier, Delrin typically does not have a metal sheen to the surface.

Are the Daizen polyurethane bushings the best ones to buy then?

I ordered the aluminum bushings also... they need to change the other pic on driftmotion since its a delrin pic... but regardless, cannot wait for them.

But for future buyers... Its aluminum, not delrin for sure.
