In your vernacular:
1. Oh yes you did. Good game this, isn't it?
2. I reckon my link to the aftermarket parts was towards the beginning of this exchange on shifter bushings, so I've no idea what you are on about when you talk of "backtracking". If anyone is backtracking it's you, as you just went back and added another couple of paragraphs to post #2196, hence making my reply to it require an edit too. But that would of course be "backtracking", wouldn't it?
3. Once again, it's about the shape, not the material. If you're hot on material, ask Tonto over here for the composition of his bushing. Or is that off message for you?
4. You're going nowhere useful with this. All the time you're getting into me for metallurgical certification and "backtracking" (wtf?) Tonto over here thinks you're patting him on the head, and is clicking a 'Like' for your posts. He clearly thinks you approve, even if you don't (or maybe you do?). Maybe you need to state your position more clearly? You know, as in actually say something that's black and white for a change...
5. Yes, there's more! I'd have a hard time 'misrepresenting' you, as you're a conundrum. All I'm getting is a kind of 'my enemy's enemy is my friend' type of schtick where you're occasionally going to have trouble keeping all the plates spinning. This looks like one of those occasions. You appear to be more interested in somehow 'proving' something against me than in properly critiquing his bushing. I repeat, he seems to think you approve.
6. If you're a grammar and speeling pedant (hey, club the join) your target selection isn't really up to snuff, is it? Signing off on a post about engineering form and function (and metallurgy too, now that you've brought it up) with a snarky comment on my spelling - when some of Tonto's posts are bordering on being semi-literate - looks a bit forced. Yes, you don't like me. I get it.
7. I'm still all ears for a similar example of a single, unshouldered (hey, should that be hyphenated Prof?) aftermarket bushing for the B-type transmission shifter mechanism. Got any cards to play? Any expert engineering-led critique of Tonto's last post regarding "direct lateral force", "loss of efficiency of a force acting on an angle" etc? I don't see any answer to my question on the machining/sizing of the striking guide and my inferred link to the shoulders on the stock bushings. Probably best if I don't hold my breath, eh?
