I want to put bearings in my geico strut, any idea what size to go in?

3 hole short from kintec or Miss geico upgrade bushing from kintec

a good job for the search function or a set of calipers

hi, dont understand, 3 hole short, is there any strut out there that will fit geico that has bearings? has your geico stalk bushing worn out on left side at prop side?

No Mike there is no commercial strut available with actual ball bearings. You would need to buy an oversize speedmaster strut or similar like a 1/4" drive, drill/bore it out to min. 5/16" to fit the smallest 3/16" ball bearings in there. Then there may be issues with lift as the strut becomes a ride pad almost. Not sure what effect it would have if any???

I sent you an email to come by and see if I can fix up your Miss G. I could drill it out to put in Lead teflon or maybe fix you up with a new sleeve bushing Short as said earlier. Not free mind you, it's a cut down speedmaster sleeve.
