<p class="MsoPlainText"><font color="black" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">West does not have bushing the best is Duran.
Some of us have made bushings but the diameter of the post is different for
each Capri. (Yea right… just ask Steve
Hanson who assumed they were all the same diameter) Taxi, Tsunami and Redshift
have made bearings but you don’t need to. The reason we made bushings
is because we all had such a large slant in our post. Tsunami was
about 12 degree off. The joke is what day your Capri
was made. Offline was made on Wednesday it is parallel with the keel.
You can have bushing made but you will have to send in your rudder and post. </span></font></p>
