Progressive 412 shock bushings

[mellowyellow#7933]

Mine are shot. According to Progressive I need part # 30-5008 (set of 4 bushings) problem is they are unavailable from any supplier in Canada & Progressive wont ship by mail & can't give me Fedex shipping cost without ordering! I estimated on Fedex website to be around $75 U.S. plus brokerage
All U.S. suppliers show either out of stock or unavailable, shipping around $35.
Anyone ever change them with any other brand/homemade solution? Don't want to mortgage the house for a $20 part!

I make my own out of neoprene John Deere 4020 hydraulic pump coupler bushings. JD part # R45822. Works for my stock Honda and my progressive shocks. Inside diameter is perfect. Just shave a little off the outside and press them in. I've never had to replace a set that I made yet. One set has over 80000 miles on them.

Thanks Challenger! Will definitely try that! I was beginning to think that I was the the only one that ever wore out a set of bushings.
