Review on Hard Find Fastener 014973170400 Bushings by Todd Calloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well-made bushings, accurate dimensions, excellent locking.

Well made sockets, accurate size, excellent locking, no reason to expect parts to break. Cantilever beams have good elasticity and good fixation. The outer edge is slightly narrower than the Heyco. It doesn't weaken it, it's just less waste material. The strength of the part is limited by the spring pins (the root of the cantilever beam is a high stress point) and the thickness of the cylinder. The rim just fits into the hole size tolerance. They were used to replace a Heyco part in 12 Lightolier 150W PAR38-3 wall mounted washing machines manufactured in the late 1980's. All 12 Heyco bushes have lost all their leaf springs. It was an extreme operating temperature and I would have been just as happy to use a Heyco bushing. It turned out to be the best price and availability that day. The Lightolier wall lamp is made in the shape of an oven with minimal dimensions. It has an asymmetric diverging lens just in front of the lamp and a small short body. They have been converted to use screw base LED lamps and do not age at high temperatures, so their suitability for use at the unusually high temperature of the original application has not been evaluated.

Pros
  • Gap and split rivets
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
