Urethane bushings can be made in all sorts of harness, and softness.
Most folks equate them with being firmer then generic rubber, and they
are marketed as such. But they don't have to be. Lots of folks also
equate colors with hardness, but they are totally unrelated. A few
manufacturers cater to them though, and as a matter of convention may
color code their own products, at the moment, if they feel like it, and
don't change their minds. Well, you get the point.
There is a company in England that sells soft urethane bushings for
Spitfires. I've seen it before. I don't have it bookmarked apparently,
and couldn't pop it up quickly on a google search. But if I were you,
I'd try looking around for it. Interesting, Europeans do not go for the
hard urethane that the Americans tend to go for. So you might get lucky
right off with Jigsaw and the like from England.
I would be concerned about the quality of new rubber bushings. I've
had a lot of replacement rubber pieces break down in a matter of months.
This does not please me, and I would not consider that an acceptable
replacement part. If it was true rubber you want, I'd probably contact
Canley Classics for them.
