Robert,
Can you clarify...you "tapered the ends of the bushing on a lathe"? What purpose was the tapering?

I just got a new set from Marino at Pantera East.  The front ones come in 4 sizes Thick, Med Thick, Med thin and thin.   The instructions clearly show which goes where.With advice from John Taphorn we   and then drilled the A arms and installed zerks.  

They are on the car and look good but the car is still on stands as other projects are continuing.

Gee, most of the vendors sell them including Pantera East- where I got mine 
15 years ago I think. The only difference is, there's a thick flange on one 
end of each of the 'offset' bushing pairs, which forces the a-arm sideways, 
changing the caster. Cheers- J DeRyke
