I ran this same question by FOT a month or two ago for my GT6. I wanted
Delrin or Nylatron but these were impossible to find. Ted S suggested
buying the Delrin and machining myself, but I didn't. In the end I ordered
poly bushings from SuperPro USA. You can get an absolutely complete front
suspension rebuild kit from the Roadster Factory which is has the black
poly bushes that Scott describes.
