I purchased some rubber for making bushings. I have a hole punch so I can make them the right circular size with a hole in the middle for the kingpin, but how do get the shape like Chubz and other bushings? I'm assuming they cast them in molds?

Depends on how you cut them and you can kind of lathe shape them if you have the skill. silent

I thought about making a lathe with a drill bit and drill, and then using sand paper or a razor blade. I don't think the drill will spin fast enough. I was looking at polymers for molds but that is going to get expensive quick!

They're either molded or shaped. Personally I'd just take a hole puncher and some silicone, punch out a few rounds, pour myself a nice glass of soda, and call it a day while watching the sun set into the horizon.

I have one very similar. The cylindrical shape works and all but I would rather have shaped bushings!

Make a mold from silicone or something, and pour them that way
