I ordered a bunch of bushings from OSE but after cutting it off I found I left the bushings intact, so just popped them out of the piece I cut off and pressed them into the drive tube. To answer your question I don't think they have a ring or at least the ones I cut down didn't, I cracked two drive posts from driving hard in choppy water since cutting down, much more durable.
The daytona will likely air out better with short drives
