My bushings came with a metal tube to install inside the bushing to prevent it from crushing. does your have this tube?

I noticed that the bushings that Fred furnished with the motor mount plate are not up the job. The bottom half has crushed down by close to ¼ inch. I wonder what mounts the rest of you are using? The lower picture is of the left (pilot) side and the top is the copilot side. Both are on the front. The rear seems to be holding up ok. I first noticed this when I saw that my spinner was not aligned with the cowl very well…

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill B
