| 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. |

| 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. |

Like this one: ......
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 |
