Im rebuilding a 1978 z50 I bought in apart and in literal baskets..
The tank bushings that came with it are in good shape and not dry rotted out. The issue I have is the frame posts to mount the bushings are way undersized and the front rubber bushings or whatever they are called don't fit snugly on the posts. There's a absolute ton of slop between the posts on the frame to the ID of the bushings. Was there a collar/spacer or something that was supposed slip into the rubber bushings to make up the difference between the hole in the bushings to the OD of the frame posts? When I look for new bushings the seller states the mounting hole to be the same as my original parts! This is a original 1978 z50 frame and not a aftermarket frame if that helps.
Silly question I know,,, Any input you all can give?
