3D Printed Bushing Differential Mount Bushing

Andy. I have a new in box bushing for the old style MC2 diff mount.
I plan on using it but I can probably get my son to model it up and post it. Mine disintegrated like the newer version posted above.

That would be cool. I wonder why they changed the design? The rear mount available through Burton still has the oval shaped bushing, but they don't sell just the bushing itself. Then there's ebay versions that seem questionable. This MC2 mount is really well built and I hate to toss it. I was thinking how it wouldn't be that hard to mount it into a spare rear diff on a work bench. Then with the back of the diff facing up pour liquid material into the cavity using the diff mount as the mold. Some guy on youtube was doing that while restoring an old Pro-Flex mountain bike that used elastomer bushings for the front and rear suspension travel.

I remember talking with Chris some time back about the change to the newer style and his feeling as I recall was the bush would last longer with the new design since there is more material there.
The replacement one I have was sourced off ebay. Its red in color and looks like it was poured into an open top form instead of injection molded.
I think Rob Eddy may have been the seller looking at the user name.
Maybe he can chime in as to the origin. This could be a burton one or possibly he was remaking them.

We need mc2 back in business. This is a great rear diff mount just needs the bushing.
